Chrysanthemums are colorful annuals that thrive during the fall season.

Chrysanthemums are one of the most popular types of annual flowers for the fall because they thrive during this season. Also known as mums, these flowers come in beautiful colors, including yellow, orange, red, white, and pink, and their blooms are full and layered, expanding outwards from the center.

Mums are generally low-maintenance annuals that prefer full sun and moist, well-drained soil. They grow well during the cooler weather and bloom for about four to eight weeks, from September until the first frost. With vibrant colors and stunning blooms, chrysanthemums make the perfect addition to your landscape beds this fall!

Pansies Are Low-Maintenance Fall Annuals That Bring Cheerful Displays to Your Landscape

Pansies are another type of annual flower that thrives during the fall season. These fast-growing flowers bring cheerful displays of colors to your landscape beds, like purple, blue, yellow, white, and pink. They boast heart-shaped petals with markings in the center that resemble upturned faces.

Pansies are low-maintenance and don't need much to stay in tip-top shape. However, they prefer well-drained soil and either full or partial sunlight. These flowers are also highly tolerant of the cold, meaning they'll bloom in the fall and sometimes even in the winter!

Celosias are unique annual flowers to add to your landscape beds this fall.

Celosias are annual flowers that'll make a standout addition to your landscape beds this fall. These flowers have uniquely shaped blooms, which can be spiky, thick, feathery plumes, or more brain-like. They also come in diverse colors, such as purple, red, orange, pink, and white, and they can grow as tall as 36 inches!

Celosia flowers are highly low-maintenance and last from late spring and throughout the fall until the first frost. They grow best with full sun exposure, and while they're tolerant of all soil types, they prefer those with good drainage. From the heat during the summer to the cooler temperatures in the fall - celosias will prove worthwhile to add to your softscapes!

Because of celosias' vibrant, colorful blooms, they are known to attract bees and butterflies, among other pollinators.

Cosmos are annual flowers that will bring fall to your landscape beds.

Cosmos are bright annual flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, red, orange, and yellow. These flowers are shaped similarly to daisies and have thin stems that can grow up to six feet tall. Cosmos are also known for being low maintenance and can handle various conditions. However, they perform best during the cooler temperatures in the fall with full sunlight and well-drained soil. With blooms that last throughout the season, they'll adorn your landscape beds with cheerful, vibrant displays.
