Perennial tips and late flowering plants
While the flowering plants literally explode in spring and summer and shower the garden with a blaze of color, things are a bit more subtle in autumn. Here, too, there are eye-catching flowering plants, such as colorful aster bushes, but beautiful leafy plants such as two-tone hostas or colored grasses also come into their own.

The autumn bed design adheres to warm colors and soft shapes, which can now and then be loosened up by striking colors or unusual shapes. The design also incorporates natural features, such as the fading light or the morning hoarfrost. Straight grasses, covered with frost, make a fantastic picture.
Examples of hardy perennials and flowers
From the abundance of hardy plants, the possible diversity in garden design is to be illustrated using a few plant examples. Among others, the following perennials and flowers are popular:
- Love pearl bush
- Cyclamen
- Sedum plant
- Fall timeless
- Autumn anemone
The love pearl bush
Planted in a sunny to partially shaded place, it blooms from June to July with small white-pink flowers. It only becomes a special ornament in the garden in autumn with its purple fruit pearls. They stay on the bush through the winter.
The cyclamen
The hardy garden variant loves bright locations and temperatures around 12 degrees. It blooms in white to purple by winter. As soon as the first frosts set in, you need loose winter protection in the form of brushwood or fir green.
The sedum plant
She loves a sunny place with well-drained soil. Already in early spring their buds push themselves out of the earth in the arched clumps. During the summer it grows to a stately size and sets plate-shaped flowers that bloom in a muted old pink in autumn.
The autumn crocus
When most of the flowers have faded, the autumn crocus shows off its blooms. Like the crocuses in spring, it pushes its delicate and filigree blossom out of the meadow. It is beautiful to look at, but the flowers and leaves are highly toxic.
The autumn anemone
Its delicate flowers love the sun, but they will take some time to establish themselves in the garden. If they have found their right place, it multiplies through runners.
