30 Plants that can add Fall Color to your Yard/Garden

Home Improvement icon Bob Vila says that September is the time to catch up on Home Maintenance. It’s a time to finish projects begun in the summer that were never completed. And it’s an excellent opportunity to see what can be improved, replaced, or repaired while the weather is still nice enough for outdoor projects.

One of the wonderful ways you can add some pizazz to your yard, especially now, when summer blooms are fading, is to boost your garden’s color sense with seasonal flowers. Mums/Chrysanthemums are a popular choice, and for good reason—they are abundant, easy to care for, and colorful. But consider some other “stars” of the fall landscape, like:

Black Eyed Susans

Leedplant

Ornamental Kale

Firethorn (Pyracantha)
