Even though the leaves turn and fall in the autumn months, we can still enjoy some vibrant blooms in the garden. You might plant them in pots, beds, or in the windowsill, but wherever they are, you’ll have cheery additions to your fall garden when they begin to bloom. Not all on the list are true bulbs; while some of these fall-blooming flowers grow from bulbs, others such as crocus and colchicum grow from corms, and dahlias and begonias grow from tubers. Read on for a few fall-blooming flowers that are sure to brighten up your autumn garden.

These pretty flowers are related to spider lilies, which they resemble. According to The Southern Living Garden Book, “These usually die back well before bloom time in late summer or early autumn, then reappear later in the year (typically around bloom time or shortly afterward).”

The bright yellow blooms of Sternbergia lutea appear in autumn. According to The Southern Living Garden Book, “In early fall, the 1 ½-inch blooms appear singly on 6-to-9 inch stems; they are chalice shaped at first, then open out to a star.” Be sure to note that “after planting, the bulbs often take two or three years to settle in and begin blooming well.”

These pretty purple blooms won’t just thrill once a year—they’ll bloom in spring and keep on coming back for more throughout the summer and into the fall before the first frost. They are drought resistant and well suited for the Southern climate.

Plant bulbs in the spring after the final frost of the season. Pretty little trumpet-shaped blooms will appear from late summer through the fall. They prefer full sun unless they’re in a hot climate, in which case partial shade is best. Other than keeping the soil moist, your calla lilies shouldn’t require too much attention in order to put on a show.
