Autumn perennials, grasses and flowering plants bring a special atmosphere to the garden in the last months of the year. So that you don't have to start all over again with large planting campaigns every year, it's worth planting hardy perennials once.
Which hardy autumn bloomers are there for the garden?
Hardy autumn bloomers enrich the garden with color and variety, including the pearl bush, cyclamen, sedum, autumn crocus and autumn anemone. These plants impress with their attractive colors and shapes in autumnal bed design.
Perennial tips and late flowering plants
While the flowering plants literally explode in spring and summer and shower the garden with a blaze of color, things are a little more subtle in autumn. Here, too, there are striking flowering plants, such as colorful aster bushes, but beautiful leafy plants, such as two-tone hostas, or colored grasses also come into their own.
The autumnal bed design sticks to warm colors and soft shapes, which can now and then be loosened up with striking colors or unusual shapes. The design also takes natural conditions into account, such as the fading light or morning hoarfrost. Straight grasses, covered with frost, create a fantastic picture.
Examples of hardy perennials and flowers
From the abundance of hardy plants, a few plant examples will be used to illustrate the possible diversity in garden design. The following perennials and flowers are popular, among others:
- Love pearl bush
- Cyclamen
- Sedum
- Autumn Timeless
- Autumn Anemone
The Love Pearl Bush
Planted in a sunny to partially shaded spot, it blooms from June to July with small white-pink flowers. It only becomes a special ornament in the garden in autumn thanks to its purple fruit pearls. They stay on the bush throughout the winter.
The cyclamen
The winter-hardy garden variant loves bright locations and temperatures around 12 degrees. It blooms in white to purple until winter. As soon as the first frosts set in, it needs loose winter protection in the form of brushwood or pine greens.
The Stonecrop
She loves a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Already in early spring, their buds push out of the earth in the arched clumps. During the summer it grows to an impressive size and produces plate-shaped flowers that bloom in the autumn in a muted old pink.
The Autumn Crocus
When most of the flowers have faded, the autumn crocus shows off its flowers. Like crocuses in spring, it pushes its delicate and delicate flowers out of the meadow. It is beautiful to look at, but the flowers and leaves are highly poisonous.
The Autumn Anemone
Their delicate flowers love the sun, but require some time to establish themselves in the garden. Once they have found their right place, they reproduce through runners.
