Fall perennials: colour, volume and late blooms

Fall perennials bring life to plantings as summer blooms slow. Asters, heleniums, coneflowers and fall anemones create bright, natural beds, extend seasonal interest and attract late-season pollinators.

Can you plant perennials in fall?

Yes. Fall planting can work well in Québec while soil is workable. Cooler temperatures reduce plant stress, roots can establish before winter and watering is often easier than in extreme heat.

The favourite fall trio: hydrangeas, rudbeckias and sedums

Hydrangeas, rudbeckias and fall sedums are favourites in Laval. Hydrangeas offer generous flowers that often change colour late in the season; rudbeckias add bright yellow and gold; sedums provide texture, resilience and late pink, red or purple blooms.

Texture and movement

Grasses to structure your fall landscape

Grasses add height, movement and natural texture to landscapes. Their foliage changes colour in fall and their plumes often remain attractive after other plants finish flowering.

Ideal timing

Fall: an excellent planting season

From mid-September to early November, fall can be a good time to plant perennials, trees, shrubs and small fruit plants. The soil retains some warmth, temperatures are steadier and plants can develop roots before winter.

Trees and shrubs with vibrant fall colour

Trees and shrubs add structure and seasonal beauty. Some stand out with red, orange, gold or purple fall foliage, creating a lasting, colourful setting around the home.

Preparing for spring

Plant fall bulbs for spring flowers

Fall-planted bulbs provide early, spectacular spring flowers. Tulips, daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths and narcissi use winter cold to prepare for blooming. Plant in well-drained soil at the recommended depth and in sufficient light.

Should perennials be cut back in fall?

Fall pruning depends on the plant and its condition. Remove diseased, collapsed or badly damaged foliage. Some perennials can remain standing for winter protection, structure or seeds for birds.

When to cut

Generally wait until foliage is yellow, collapsed or cold-damaged before cutting back.

What to cut

Remove diseased or soft foliage to help limit disease risk in spring.

What to keep

Leave some decorative stems, grasses and seed heads for winter interest and wildlife.
