Spring isn’t the only time of year to enjoy beautiful flowers. Autumn has a wealth of breathtaking blossoms that are a perfect addition to any garden or home. Laurel Grove Florist is a flower company that specializes in arrangements and garden plants for any time of the year and recommends these following florals as the top picks for fall.

A Flower Company’s Top 5 Autumn Picks

1. Chrysanthemum

You will often see these orange and pink beauties paired with pumpkins in October. Their colorful hues make them a great addition to any fall flower arrangement. Water them well and use mulch as it gets colder so they don’t wilt come wintertime.

2. Helianthus

Known as the “lemon queen” sunflower, this golden blossom is a flower company favorite. It fits in well with the changing autumn foliage and is self-supported with tall stems stretching above smaller plants. These should be placed either fully or partially in the sunlight throughout the season.

3. Helenium 

This flower is also known as “sneezeweed” but actually gets its name from the famous Helen of Troy. It also blooms in beautiful autumnal hues, like deep russet oranges and reds. Due to the fact they can grow tall, like helianthus, it’s a good idea to put cold mulch around the foot of the plant to keep them thriving.

4. White Guara

A florist may recommend this blossom to you if you’re looking for a garden that will last all year long. This flower will bloom well into November with slowly opening blossoms in gorgeous white-tinted hues.

5. Sweet Alyssum

If you’re looking to give your garden a carpet of color rather than individual blossoms, sweet alyssum is an excellent choice. Their bright purple hues complement the oranges and yellow of the season and also look great in overhanging baskets on your porch or on your front patio.

Investing in beautiful foliage is a great way to enjoy the natural wonders each season brings. For beautiful fall flower arrangements or garden plants, check out Laurel Grove Florist’s extensive selection online or call (845) 856-2713 for a flower company with the best seasonal offerings.
