Chrysanthemums are a fall staple. For gorgeous, unique blooms try “Seaton’s Ruby” or “Moira”. If you’re feeling nostalgic, go for the traditional florist mums!
Spider flowers are a great option if you are looking for a plant that’ll provide blooms throughout the hot days and into the chilliness of fall.
