Orange Flowers for the Fall Garden

September 30, 2016 By Karen Creel

Orange you glad it’s fall?  Sorry, I couldn’t resist.  Orange has never been a favorite color of mine, but you can’t decorate for fall without orange.  That goes for the garden too.  Orange flowers for the fall garden are at all the garden centers.  There is a good variety including chrysanthemums, pansies, fall zinnias.  I couldn’t resist picking up a few for myself.  The yellow lantana,  pink vinca, and red geraniums are gone, and have made way to a new lineup of orange.

Choose orange flowers for the fall garden. Chrysanthemums are a perfect choice

Orange chrysanthemums were at the local hardware store when I stepped in for ceiling paint.  Chrysanthemums were my father’s favorite, and I can’t help but think of him when I see them.  Chrysanthemums are perennials.  Cut them back after blooming and in the spring until around July.  That way you will have fall blooms.

Zinnias aren't just for the summer garden. An orange variety is perfect for the fall garden

Zinnias are generally thought of as summer flowers, but I bought a pot of new fall zinnias a few weeks back for one of my blog post on rusty containers.  The orange petals look great against the brown, rusty mailbox.  I’ll save the seeds for next year’s garden.

Plant rusty garden containers with orange or yellow flowers

Fall wouldn’t be fall without pansies which will die back during the winter, but come back in the spring.  Last year we had a mild winter and mine lasted all year.  By July, they were becoming leggy, and needed to be cut back.

Orange Pansies are a good choice for the fall garden

Fall is a new season for the garden, and a great variety of orange flowers are available to add color to your garden.  There is no reason your fall garden can’t be as pretty as your spring and summer one.

Happy Fall Ya’ll

    These are all so gorgeous. I have never had a lot of orange color in my yard, but we now have a yellow house, and I love the orange with it! The chrysanthemums are so pretty, and may be my favorite, but I love those zinnias too! It’s very hard to decide!!

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
