The leaves are falling, and the rustic look to fall begins to settle in. A chill is in the air as we begin to prepare for the winter ahead. Annuals may die, but the rest of the garden is still thriving and much needs to be done. The fall planting season is in full swing and we must remember the planting of bulbs to provide for that early spring color. Spectacular views abound as leaves turn into magnificent shades of yellow, orange and red. The following are plants that provide incredible fall color, either in the foliage, or blooms that are still going strong:

| Anenome (Windflower) | flower past frost |
| Aster (Fall Aster) | pinks, blues, purples |
