5 Plants For Your Garden This Fall!

Perennial plants are plants that keep on giving all year long, their regrowth means less work for you with minimal upkeep. If you don’t mind seeing them bloom every year, consider planting some of these:

1. Fall Aster is an evergreen shrub throughout the year but in the fall it blooms with beautiful blue flowers. It can be planted in direct sunlight or partial shade and is drought tolerant; perfect for our unpredictable San Antonio weather. Big plus-they provide food for migrating Monarchs! Grows about 2 feet tall.
2. The Lantana has different varieties so you have a few to choose from, the good news is that they are also drought tolerant and can be planted in the sun. They come in different colors such as pink, red, white and gold and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Grows about 3 feet tall.
3. The Mexican Mint Marigold blooms in the summer to late fall with bright yellow flowers and a delicious licorice scent. This plant tolerates droughts and poor soil, great for the type of soil here in San Antonio, but has to be watered regularly. It grows about 2 feet tall and spreads freely. It also attracts migrating butterflies.
4. Firecracker Plant has a beautiful red orange bell shaped flower that can be planted in direct sunlight. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Loves the heat and the sun and grows to be about 2 feet tall.
5. The Blackfoot Daisy is a fragrant Central Texas Native plant that blooms almost full time. It loves the sun and thrives in rocky ground. Birds, bees and butterflies love these flowers and are deer resistant.

Happy gardening!
