Asters provide a lively burst of color to the late season landscape featuring a mass of color-themed daisies in almost every hue. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators to the garden. Wonderful for porch containers, mixed borders, and rock gardens. Cut flowers are long-lasting in fresh bouquets. Tip: Plant in spring to establish the roots and they’ll fulfill their perennial potential.

Chrysanthemums bring a burst of autumn color for containers or in the garden bed. Warm tones of every shade in reds, russets, purples, pinks, oranges, yellows and white. Foliage forms a dense bushy mound covered with flowers which bloom over a long period of time. Excellent for adding new dimension and color to the landscape in late summer and fall when many plants may be getting tired and leggy. Ideal choice for beds, borders, and cutting gardens. Perfect for all kinds of containers to liven porches and patios.

Striking when in full fruit, ornamental peppers are little annual plants with a tropical appeal. Most varieties hold their peppers in an upright position above the foliage. Although ornamental peppers are edible, most people find them too hot to enjoy. They do best in full sun with even watering once the soil gets slightly dry. Excellent for containers or borders, and they make great gifts.
