The flowers consist of six petallike segments, which may form the shape of a trumpet. These flowers are quite fragrant, and they come in a wide variety of colors. Lilies are usually raised from bulbs, but they can be grown from seed. While most borders consist of summer flowers, it s nice to have some fall flowers planted to add color when summer flowers begin to fade. One of the most popular fall flowers is the chrysanthemum.
Mums have large flower heads and aromatic leaves that alternate along the stem.
All of these colors would contribute nicely to a fall display. Use them as foreground planting with fall foliage shrubs to add extra color to your garden. Mums can also be moved indoors and kept year after year as houseplants, although this is not a common practice. Japanese maples are well known for their oriental appearance and striking beauty. In the fall their delicate, bright foliage is sensational in any landscape setting but is usually shown to best effect when grown on a hill or around small ponds.
