Perennial Plants for Fall in Maryland

As many Maryland homeowners know, fall is a great time to enhance your landscape by adding plants. Due to the cooler temperatures and rainfall that autumn brings, your plants are given time to strengthen their roots and adapt to your garden. Buying local plants—in addition to helping your local community—also limits the potential of pest contamination from plants in other states. Providence Center also specializes in native plants that are natural to the ecosystem and aren’t invasive like some plant species.

Here are some perennials that thrive during the fall season in Maryland:

• Anemone – Anemone come in a wide variety of bright colors. In addition to their beauty, they offer versatility; they can tolerate shade or full sun, and they are resistant to pest damage.
• Asters – Similar to chrysanthemums, asters thrive in full sun and are available in many colors.
• Coneflower – Echinacea (or coneflowers), though typically considered a summer flower, bloom into the fall as well.
• Coral bells – Heuchera (or coral bells) are a dependable choice for the fall due to their expansive range of colors, tolerance of dry soil, and ability to survive in full shade or partial sun.
• Mums – With endless color options and full blooms, chrysanthemums are a fall favorite for many homeowners. To help your mums last even longer in the future, plant them in the spring so that they have time to establish their roots.
• Ornamental grasses – Ornamental grasses are a visually interesting choice for any landscape, regardless of season. They thrive in full sun but can even tolerate wet areas, making them a versatile and dependable staple.
• Sedum – Sedum flowers can span anywhere between a soft blush pink and a vibrant reddish magenta. They are also able to tolerate periods with little rain, helping them last throughout the unpredictable fall weather.
• Yarrow – Achillea (or yarrow) are a favorite of pollinators, making them perfect for a butterfly garden.
