Just because summer is over doesn’t mean your flower beds have to lose their color! Now is the perfect time to switch out your summer flowers for cool-season annuals.
Pansies are one of the most popular choices because they love cooler weather and come in almost every color imaginable. Here in Louisiana, they can provide beautiful color all winter long!
Snapdragons are another great option! They grow taller than pansies, making them perfect for adding height and dimension to your flower beds.
We also love Dusty miller for a nice, silver to contrast all the colorful blooms.
The key to a successful fall color installation is proper bed preparation, healthy soil, and choosing plants that thrive in cooler temperatures. We also recommend adding fresh mulch or pine straw to the beds to help with insulation.
With the right plants and a little prep, your landscape can stay colorful all the way through winter and into spring!
