If you’re looking for a fall flower that’s a bit more simple than the massive chrysanthemums that you see all over, try thinking about Asters.
These small daisy-like flowers come in many colors and are very hardy. Once they’re established, they don’t require much care at all aside from deadheading..
There are more than 600 varieties of aster. Most bloom from summer through fall but Alpine Asters will bloom in the spring giving you the ability to have asters blooming in your garden for the entire growing season.
You can find them in pink, blue, purple and even white.
