Flowers for your autumn garden

1
TYPES OF FLOWERS TO PLANT IN OCTOBER
During the month of October the trees and shrubs
are filled with yellow, red, purple, and orange.
It is, however, one of those months boring for
the garden

Cool temperature flowers

• Cold flowers are plants that can withstand light
  frosts and flourish when the temperature falls
  below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius),
  and are an excellent choice to have fresh cut
  flowers at home.
• These plants tolerate light frost and low night
  temperatures, although on an old sheet or fleece
  over them at night when a hard freeze is expected
  can keep blooming until the first heavy snow.

Planting Bulbs

• October is traditionally the time to plant spring
  bulbs. Planting bulbs now gives them time to take
  root before the ground freezes. Instead of
  planting spring bulbs individually, dig a trench
  deep enough for bulbs and plants in blocks. There
  are some late-flowering bulbs, such as Oriental
  lilies and hyacinths and some saffron that
  tolerate cooler temperatures of autumn. Plant
  spring bulbs for fall flowers. Be sure to cover
  lily plants on nights when frost is forecast
  because the flowers will disintegrate. Crocus
  hyacinth can tolerate some frost that is if
  provided with the morning sun.

Annual Flowers

• Most annuals continue blooming until early
  November or when night temperatures fall below
  freezing, they are a great choice for your
  weeding flowers during autumn , provide some
  cover at night when a frost is predicted
• Marigolds , petunias, zinnias , cosmos and
  marigolds those are some of my favorites for
  October annually

Perennials
Perennials are more difficult than Annual, as
most annuals are discarded when they finally
succumb to frost damage. Perennials should be
used indoors during the winter, and few can
withstand the rigors of freezing temperatures and
cold night. Chrysanthemums are the most popular
fall flower, although often grown as annuals , as
some gardeners like to have the plant in late
winter
