I live on the west-coast of Sweden, in our garden in fall I love our Echinacea purpurea, I believe it’s called Coneflower in English? Loves the sun, and is loved by butterflies. Flowers until the first frost.

I second Jeanne’s Sedum recommendation. Also, I planted some Bobo hydrangeas last summer and they have been the highlight of my garden, October in Maine (zone 5) and they are still going strong in that lovely late season shade of mauve. They are also very compact but produce a lot of blooms. Your garden (even during the fall) is such an inspiration!

Just want to preface this by saying that I am in no way, shape or form a gardener, but I loved the Astors the previous homeowner had planted because they were low maintenance, small, and late bloomers. It was nice to have some colour in the fall. They were also hardy enough to bloom in fall in Canada (a.k.a. winter). We have since ripped out and sodded over that flower bed for lower maintenance landscaping, but I think about those Astors every fall.

I love your blog! It’s the first one I read! Do you have Sedum(autumn joy) in your garden? Great fall color. Other than that my fall garden is blah. If there aren’t mini hydrangeas someone should invent them. I sitck a couple of plant stands in my garden with perennials in them. My geraniums are still blooming like crazy
