Although most people don’t really consider autumn to be the season of lush flowering plants, the truth is there are several varieties of flowers and plants that produce beautiful autumn colors for your garden. Many low-maintenance perennials, such as Chrysanthemums can bring a lovely splash of autumn color. According to the gardening experts at Gardenia, there are over 40 species in the Chrysanthemum genus alone. Let’s look at some other beautiful autumn flowers you can consider planting or picking up at local flower shops.
1. Marigolds
With its brassy warm colors, it’s easy to see why the marigold would be an autumn favorite. They bloom for most of the season and are super easy to maintain. They love full sun, are hearty survivors of hot summers, and are willing to stick around for fall to keep those beautiful colors alive. These are great for hot climates.
2. Lillies
Lillies are beautiful flowers that can be a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, and red, all colors that bring autumnal elements. They are gorgeous perennials, which means they can survive and grow in nature without much help. These are great flowers to buy when you want to display them in your home and not worry about taking too much time caring for them.
3. Mums
These flowers bloom in the fall and can be white, yellow, orange, red, and many other colors. Mums look gorgeous in a bouquet with other colorful flowers or by themselves. Whether you'd like to display them on your counter or outside on the porch, they make a beautiful plant for fall.

Hydrangeas are an old-fashioned favorite that never goes out of style.
