What You Should Plant this Fall

Summer may be coming to end, but autumn is a great time for gardening! Here is a list of some plants that look amazing during the fall.

Pear Trees

These trees are resistant to Fire Blight and a fast-growing, well-performing tree in the Fort Collins area.

Rudbeckia

Rudbeckia comes in a wide variety of sizes and colors, and is either a tender perennial or true perennial, depending on the variety.

Mums

Mums are another great option. Plant them in the ground or keep them in containers to spruce up your outdoor decor! These pretty little flowers continue blooming even when other plants are on the decline for the season.
