Fall Blooming Crocus like to be planted in warm, sunny spots in well drained sandy or loam soils. These little beauties show up best when planted into low groundcovers and the groundcover stems help support the crocus flowers. Plant in early fall and enjoy blooms the following fall! Can be planted in warmer climates up to zone 9.

Columbine (Aquilegia) are also very cold hardy perennials that enjoy fall planting and reward you with profuse late spring flowers the next growing season. A wonderful companion plant for spring blooming bulbs.

Stonecrop (Sedum) are beautiful late summer-early fall bloomers that enjoy fall planting. They provide winter seeds for small birds and visual interest during the winter with their showy, snow catching seed heads.

Enjoy spectacular flowers next spring from fall planted “Oriental Poppies”:http://www.highcountrygardens.com/catalog/search/products/oriental+poppies; spring planted specimens rarely bloom their first spring in the ground. These poppies go dormant in summer, so mix them into the middle of perennial beds with other tall growing perennials like Centranthus and Achillea. Best suited to gardens in cold climates.
