Are asters common fall flowers?
Hi, Yep- Asters are common fall flowers, in warm and cool climates now-a-days. In fact Asters will do a bit better in warmer fall climates over cold ones. Fall Mums will do very well in warm and cold alike... I would suggest Mums over Asters as their bloom lasts much longer, they desire less watering- almost none if planted in a good location... and they tollerate sun and some shade. Many hybrid Asters are available at Home Depot and Lowes but their blooming shelf life is limited and they often are a bit more pricey. If you intend to display as potted plants then I suggest leaning towards Mums.





Late Fall - in the areas you mentioned, you may want to include Pansies. They do very well when the weather cools, say below 85 (average) and right down to freezing. But wait until the weather cools as those ares are still very warm...
Reply:Aster is always the answer to the question in crossword puzzles calling for colorful fall flower! Plant mums and pansies (along with your asters) to give your garden a burst of color and beauty this fall. Pansies will bloom all fall into winter and then bloom again with your bulbs early the next spring. Mums are perennials that come back year after year to flower in the fall. I usually plant calendulas in the fall and they begin blooming in late winter or very early spring.
Reply:Yes. In fact, the Aster is the traditional flower for birthdays in September.
