Our Seasonal Colours - Autumn Offer is a selection of key species for spring that flower from September to November. This selection is easy to market alongside your biennial or pot plants offer.
We also included a table which provides you the potting and flowering weeks and other useful information in one simple overview. This will help you to prepare your ‘Seasonal Colour’ offer for the autumn!
Helenium Autumnale
Helenium autumnale is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to extend the flowering season and attract pollinators. It's particularly useful in areas with moist soil, due to its preference for moist conditions.
HayDay brings new standards in compact and manageable growth habit with reduced needs for PGR. More details at the bottom of this page.
Erysimum linifolium
Erysimum linifolium is prized for its long flowering period and fragrant blooms. Its compact habit, drought tolerance, and attractive flowers make it a versatile plant suitable for various garden styles, from formal borders to naturalistic settings. Bees and butterflies are drawn to the flowers.
We offer two series: Super Bowl which is the more vigorous traditional type and Erysistible, a compact, bedding type with less stretching flower stems. More details at the bottom of this page.
Sedum
Sedum are incredibly diverse and remarkably adaptable to harsh, dry conditions. It thrives in poor soils, with resistance to drought, cold, dear and disease. The pollinator-friendly flowers require minimal maintenance and have a high ecological value. Its shallow root system makes it ideal for rock gardens, green roofs, and xeriscaping.
Our sedum collection ranges from strong upright types like telephium Herbstfeude to low and spreading or even mat-forming types in the other species. They are perfect components for low maintenance combinations or for textural foliage with a low maintenance and pollinator friendly attributes. More details at the bottom of this page.
Lavandula angustifolia
Lavandula angustifolia (English lavender) is a compact evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region. Some varieties are blooming into late summer and Autumn.
We offer a holistic range of Lavandula from both seed (Scent) and cutting (Aromatico and Vintro). Within our full range of Lavandula, we recommend the Vintro series for autumn flowering performance.
Cyclamen hederifolium
This crop shows delicate, swept-back pink or white flowers from late summer through fall (August-November). The flowers emerge before the foliage, creating a carpet of colour. Distinctive ivy-shaped, marbled silver-green leaves appear after flowering and persist through winter and spring. Perfectly suited for ground cover in dry shade with drought-tolerant once established and is also deer and rabbit resistant.
Amaze Me is known for its vibrant, upward-facing flowers and compact habit, it's designed to deliver stunning visual impact with improved vigor and uniformity. More details at the bottom of this page.
Dianthus plumarius
Dianthus plumarius (garden pink or cottage pink) has excellent tolerance to alkaline soils and prefers well-drained and full sun locations. It also has good drought resistance once established and is excellent for rock gardens, borders, and container plantings.
Our Dianthus Dixie is a true series of well-matched flowering time and plant habit perfect for an attractive flowering addition to your autumn seasonal colour offer. More details at the bottom of this page.
Grasses
Ornamental grasses reach their peak visual impact in autumn, offering unmatched seasonal interest when many perennials fade. Their feathery plumes, changing foliage colours, and graceful movement create dynamic displays that carry gardens through the autumn and into winter.
We offer a range of small and medium grasses that perform perfectly in the autumn. Attributes include extended flowering from late summer through autumn; exceptional autumn foliage colour; low maintenance requirements; drought tolerance once established and year-round structural interest. They excel as potted plants on their own or add interesting foliage when combined with other plants. More details at the bottom of this page.
Foliage
Calocephalus 'Whimsy' is leading in foliage. Its silvery stems help to punctuate autumn plantings next to the various textures, heights and colours of our wide range of ornamental grasses.
The large lobed leaves and marbling of ‘Marvelous Marble’ Heuchera adds rich undertones, while other species add stunning ground cover colour and foliage form. ‘Hippie Chick’ Sempervivum's colour-shifting rosettes complete the tapestry. More details at the bottom of this page.
