When I think of Autumn, I think of certain colors. Orange, red, yellow, brown, golds - warmer colors. The flowers I typically buy and care for in the fall are sunflowers and mums. Currently, I have a dark red mum plant, a bright yellow mum plant, an orange mum plant, and a white mum plant. I love displaying each color on a different step in the front of my house, as I have 4 front porch steps. I also add tall sunflower plants that stick out from behind bales of hay on the actual porch. In my front garden, I have burning bushes with dark mulch, which looks absolutely stunning with the contrast in color. My curb appeal really increases in the fall because of the beautiful colors of the flowers and plants I have, in addition to the fall leaves and pine cones. In the back of my house, I do always have roses. I enjoy rose plants because they last very long, but the colors aren't typically associated with fall, so I keep them in the back. Around my area (Upstate NY) most of the plants don't make it too far into the fall because it gets extremely cold, so that it why I choose the plants I do for the front of my house.
