When temperatures start to cool and fall finally arrives, it’s time to bring a little seasonal color to your landscape. Although Florida may not have the colorful changing leaves, there are plenty of flowers and plants that can add that fall vibe to your yard. From colorful blooms to bold foliage, the right plants can give your landscape a fresh look and keep it looking beautiful as the seasons change.
Add Color with Fall Flowers
Adding flowers is one of the easiest ways to refresh your landscape for fall. Chrysanthemums are a classic choice for seasonal color, available in shades of yellow, orange, and red. Other options, including Salvias, Marigolds, and Firespike, can add a pop of fall color to your lawn. Â
When you’re choosing plants, consider how much sun your landscape receives and select varieties suited to your property’s growing conditions.
Don’t Forget About Foliage
Flowers aren’t the only way to add color. Plants with colorful foliage can add the right touch, even when there are no blooms. Coleus, for example, comes in shades ranging from green and yellow to pink, red, orange, and deep maroon. Using plants with different colors, textures, and heights can create a landscape that feels full and intentional without relying solely on flowers.Â
Consider Florida-Friendly Plants
Florida native wildflowers can provide seasonal color while supporting local pollinators and wildlife. Plants such as Swamp Sunflower, Goldenrod, and Gaillardia can add shades of yellow, orange, and other warm tones to the landscape.
Choosing plants well-suited to Florida’s climate can make maintaining your landscape a little easier in the long run.
Creating a colorful landscape takes more than picking out a few flowers. The right plants must be selected for your property’s conditions, properly maintained, and integrated into the overall landscape design.Â
