Study Your Space to Determine Which Perennial Flowers Are Best

Each perennial plant variety offers something amazing. All flourish in the right site conditions. Perennial plants like different amounts of sun and water. Even the soil type makes a big difference for long-term success.

Perennials produce the best flowers when their specific site requirements are met. Study the Plant Fact Highlights on each product page to make sure you’re choosing the right plant for your site.

Learn more about How to Keep Your Perennials Happy in our #ProPlantTips Garden Blog

Nature Hills Nursery offers perennial plants that prefer full sun, partial shade, and full shade, along with those suited for a number of other environmental conditions. Use the filters on our website to select options such as color, seasonal blooming, size, and deer resistance.

Choose perennial plants that are hardy in your USDA plant hardiness zone. Type your zip code into the zone finder above the Plant Highlights on every product page.

Some tender perennials will freeze in cold winters, while other perennial flowers really struggle in high heat. Choose the right plant for your area to have the best success.

Full-Sun Perennials Fill a Hot Spot with Bold Color

Dry, xeric landscapes must rely on tough, sun-loving perennials. What could be cheerier than Arizona Apricot Blanket Flower?

Balance out vivid tones with sultry blue flowering perennials. Try the exceptionally good looks of durable Denim 'n’ Lace Russian Sage as an airy backdrop or mass planting.

Don't forget to decorate the lower level of your plantings. Aromatic Creeping Thyme makes a pretty purple groundcover, and its thick growth also suppresses weeds.

Shade Perennials Expand Your Living Space

Shade is considered no more than two hours of sunlight a day. Partial shade means between two and four hours of sun a day.

Don't forget the dim, dusky areas of your yard with plants that live and thrive in shade. Sling up a hammock under the shade of a mature Oak tree, or decorate your forgotten north-facing side yard as a private Zen retreat.

People want to make the most of their investment in real estate. Use full-shade-loving perennials like big-leaved Empress Wu Hosta to set the stage.

Fill in with the fabulous foliage and flowers of Bicolor Barrenwort. Then soften the entire look with the intricate white flowers of Ghost Lamium ground covers.

Shade gardens can be brightened with the variegated foliage of woodland perennials. Try any combination you'd like. Jazz things up with garden sculpture and comfy outdoor seating, and you'll live large, no matter the size of your lot.

FAQ's for Buying Fall Blooming Perennials Online

What perennial flowers bloom in fall and reliably return every year?
The longest‑lasting late‑season color comes from hardy, herbaceous perennials such as Japanese anemone (Anemone hupehensis), hardy mums (Chrysanthemum ‘Mammoth’ series), autumn sedum (Hylotelephium ‘Autumn Joy’), asters (Symphyotrichum), and turtlehead (Chelone). Each survives winter dormancy to at least USDA Zone 5, resprouts in spring, and sets buds timed to shortening daylight in September–October. Selecting two or three species with overlapping bloom windows ensures continuous flowers well after summer annuals fade, while their perennial crowns spread slowly, providing a larger show each successive year without replanting.

Should I plant fall‑blooming perennials in spring or autumn for best establishment?
Spring planting (after soil warms to 60 °F) gives roots a full growing season to anchor before winter freezes, reducing heave and loss in Zones 3‑7. Early fall planting (6–8 weeks before first hard frost) also works: cool air and warm soil promote root growth without top‑growth stress, but gardeners must water consistently until the ground freezes. Mid‑summer installation risks heat stress, and late‑fall planting leaves insufficient rooting time. Choose the season that provides at least six weeks of moderate weather after planting, then mulch 2 in. deep to lock in moisture and temperature.

How do I care for fall‑blooming perennials to maximize late‑season blooms?
1) Soil prep: Work 2 – 3 in. of compost into the top 8‑10 in. to boost drainage and nutrients. 2) Pinching: For asters and mums, pinch back stems by one‑third in late spring to encourage branching and delay bud set until fall. 3) Water: Provide 1 in. of water weekly through summer; drought in July–August can abort flower buds. 4) Fertilize: Apply a balanced slow‑release feed in early spring; avoid high nitrogen after mid‑July to prevent floppy growth. 5) Mulch: Refresh a 2 in. organic layer annually to moderate soil temperature. This sequence—prep, pinch, hydrate, feed, mulch—channels plant energy into strong stems and plentiful, long‑lasting blossoms.

Which fall‑blooming perennials attract pollinators and wildlife?
Late‑season nectar sources are critical for migrating monarchs and overwintering bumblebee queens. Top performers include New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae‑angliae), goldenrod (Solidago rugosa ‘Fireworks’), and sneezeweed (Helenium ‘Mardi Gras’). Their open, composite florets offer accessible nectar and pollen when few other flowers remain. Pair them with seed‑bearing ornamental grasses (little bluestem) so finches and sparrows can feed on ripening heads. Avoid double‑flowered cultivars that hide nectar tubes, and skip broad‑spectrum insecticides to keep visiting pollinators safe.

How can I design a garden bed that transitions smoothly from summer to fall color using fall perennials?
Start with a backbone of long‑blooming summer perennials (coneflowers, catmint). Interplant clumps of fall stars—asters, sedums, and Japanese anemones—at one‑third the density so emerging foliage fills gaps without crowding summer plants. Add ornamental grasses behind or between clumps for height and autumn texture. Use a color echo: for example, pair purple aster flowers with burgundy ninebark foliage nearby to carry the hue across seasons. Finally, stagger bloom times by mixing early‑fall sedum with mid‑fall mums and late‑fall monkshood; this sequencing maintains visual momentum from August’s fade until the first hard frost.
