They grow only on fertile land and do not tolerate much moisture.
They appreciate and love chrysanthemum in Japan, celebrating the holiday of this flower at the end of October, and sugar blossoms are served in restaurants for dessert.
Perennial plant goldenrod (solidago) came to us from North America and took root in cottages and gardens. The flower blooms in the first days of September and blooms until late autumn. The plant itself is inconspicuous, but when golden loose inflorescences appear on it, the entire space around is transformed and becomes magical.
Silver celosia (cockscomb) hails from the tropics, but tolerates the Central Russian climate quite adequately. In Russia, undersized species are more common. Two grades are popular in our country - spikelet and comb. Celosia love the sun and fertile loose soil. In autumn, these flowers can most often be seen in the curbs along garden paths, as well as on balconies and terraces where they are placed in containers or pots. Plants look very beautiful in autumn in dried flowers.
An excellent decoration of the courtyard and cottages are well-known to all. dahlias. They grow even in the shade, take root on almost any soil, like moderate watering, but excess water is harmful to them. There are six types of dahlias, differing from each other in shape, terry and size of flowers. Varieties there are much more - more than twenty thousand.

- flowers should be unpretentious, resistant to rain and wind.
Groundcover shrubs are very common among gardeners. Ideal for the autumn flower garden stonecrop prominent. It multiplies easily, tolerates precipitation, its appearance will not be too catchy. Shrub types of stonecrops look great on the lawn, single flower beds, in mixborders and various compositions. For example, it is unusual to combine stonecrop with crops. A separate bush of this modest plant will help out when you need to draw a border along the path, mask soil irregularities or voids formed in the garden.
When composing an original autumn composition or background design on the flowerbed, a pennysetum is suitable - a cereal plant with long purple spikelet leaves.

In the design of the garden, they can be used for landscape volume. All plantings should be in harmony with trees and shrubs growing in the country, sharp transitions from one species to another should not be allowed.

Gardeners reviews
Astra is a very beautiful flower. It blooms almost to the frost. Who would have thought that she had about 200 varieties, many different shades and shapes. There are flowers similar to chamomile, only the petals are much larger. There are even unusual ones - with curls and stars on the edges of the petals. It turns out that asters in China are considered a symbol of beauty, charm and modesty. From this country they came to Russia.
September. I love this time: the stingy rays of the sun, occasionally drizzling rain and the last flowers on city beds. They are already few, but they delight the eye and amuse the soul - autumn flowers, different names. In September, the eyes of chrysanthemums, dahlias, asters, marigolds delight. Thank God for creating such a beauty.
Last summer my husband and I bought a cottage. Around forest plantations and a river nearby, where you can swim and fish.And what a vast expanse for the children: run wherever you want, the berries are right under your feet, and closer to the autumn mushrooms that we gather as a family will go. But most of all I am glad that I can plant a sea of flowers. I read on the Internet which plants bloom in the fall. I prefer dahlias, blue daisies, asters, gladioli. I plant autumn-flowering perennials. I try to organize flower beds so that some plants fade, while others begin to bloom.
When it is wet and cold outside, the flowers delight the heart. I have one large flowerbed and it has 10 different species. In the very center I planted an aster, around it - an ageratum, then with pink mallow bushes and dwarf asters. The flowerbed is square, multi-colored dahlias grow around the perimeter. This flower garden pleases us until the snow.
