Summer is leaving us and with its passing, many flowers are dying. One of the things I really liked about our new house is the mature plants and landscaping but I’m already starting to miss the Black Eyed Susans and other flowers that are becoming dormant.
After some research, I found some fall blooming flowers that will help to keep your yard looking great. I didn’t have to look far for help. Better Homes & Gardens always has great tips for your home. It’s interesting that many of these flowers are not the traditional fall colors.
