Fall Forward with Native Perennials
At the end of winter, it’s appealing to think about spring flowers and the warmth of summer. It’s also an opportunity to think about giving your landscape and the wildlife around you a late-season boost with fall-forward perennials. At their peak during late summer and fall, these species have unique charms and an important ecological role. They give pollinators resources they need before transitioning to the next stage of development. The superstars of autumn, asters and goldenrods, are keystone species that lend outsized support to food webs. They and other fall-forward plants extend the season visually and offer a rich tapestry of color and radiance optimized for the changing angle of the sun.
