Flowers best suited for Sep,Oct and mid nov in UK

Hi

Now that autumn is around the corner, after a very wet summer, i was wondering if anybody has a list of flowers that can be brought at garden centers in the UK from now onwards for the months of sep, oct and nov? I know Violas are one option. I'm in Leeds, so, autumn pays us a visit first in all her golden splendor!! Cheers

 

Pansy`s, Polyanthus and Cyclamen spring to mind. Of course, the easiest way to find out is visit the garden centre.lol

 

Hi Shane,

I think I you're after true Autumn flowers you need to go down the Perennial route rather than bedding.........

Aster ...... Michaelmas Daisy
Solidago..... Golden Rod
Sedum Spectabile..... Ice plant
Anemone Japonica....... Japanese Anemone
Eryngium....... Sea Holly
Crocosmia...... Montbretia
Schizostylus...... St Bernard Lily
Crinum
Amaryllis ( true Amaryllis not Hippeastrum )
Colchicum
Autumn Crocus

Don't forget that Autumn is the natural flowering time for Dahlias, Chrysanthemums and Fuchsias.

There are probably loads more that other peeps can suggest as well.

 

Thanks for this. I forgot to mention i'm on a budget, so can't plant rifts of say Sea Holly (i wish i could !). These are all great suggestions. I might have to stick with Viola's (not keen on Pansies as they always get bedraggled after a few weeks) Dahlia's and Chrysanthemums.
I planted some Aster 'Duchess Blue Ice' in March and they only seem to be budding now.Not very strong looking either.. Do Asters normally flower September onwards?
