5 Late Summer Flowers to Elevate Your Home Decor

With September already upon us, we are entering the late stages of summer, and many homeowners find themselves in need of some rejuvenation both inside and outside of their homes as they seek to conquer the last months of summertime. While much gardening work is done in the springtime and early summer months, there is still plenty of time left to inject some additional summer flowers into your home garden and end the summertime on a vibrant note as we begin our transition into the yellows, oranges, and reds of the fall season.

Our team at Flower Works has put together a list of our top 5 late summer flowers that can elevate your home decor and provide an extra boost of life in your home or garden as we begin winding down summer:

1. Nippon Daisy: This easy-to-care-for plant thrives in full sunlight and is known for its beautiful white flowers. The Nippon Daisy is frost tolerant and can retain its color through autumn, while its nectar lures colorful butterflies to your garden.
2. Helenium: These sun-loving perennials are known for their daisy-like blossoms that range in prominent autumn colors from yellow, orange, and red. These flowers stand upright in clumps, making them stand out and are a favorite of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
3. Chrysanthemum: These popular perennials come in a wide range of colors and sizes that can fit in with the aesthetic of nearly any home garden. They are versatile and low-maintenance, as they can be planted by themselves or mixed with other flowers and can withstand colder climates, as long as they are placed in a sunny location.
4. Japanese Anemone: Known for their tall, wiry stems, the Japanese Anemone do well in both full and partial sunlight. They also mingle well with other late summer and fall bloomers, such as Chrysanthemums, and boast an elegant pink or white color.
5. Sedum: These tough, rugged plants are known for being low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, making them the ideal choice for gardeners looking to plant them and having minimal work associated with them. Sedums are great for adding some texture in the late summer and come in a variety of colors.

Just because the prime summer months are beginning to wind down does not mean that you need to become complacent with the outlook of your home garden. Whether you are simply looking to add some flowers to your home or inject some new color into your already lush summertime garden, there is a wide variety of easy-to-care-for flowers that bloom in the late summer and can thrive as we transition into the autumn months.
