For most of us, Summer is about being outdoors, enjoying the warm weather, and surrounding yourself with nature. When Fall comes, we bundle up, move indoors, and say goodbye to our gardens as they begin their descent into frosty Winter. But, one way you can have an endless Summer is to choose perennials with late-flowering habits for your garden.

A Spring favorite, its name is reflected by its unique shape.

I named autumn perennials one of my must-haves for September. After all, just because summer is fading fast doesn't mean you can't enjoy gazing at a colorful flower garden for a few more months.
In fact, late summer / early fall is the ideal time to plant flowers that will bloom into the cold season. 
Unlike an annual, a perennial plant is one with a life cycle that spans at least two years and blooms repeatedly throughout multiple seasons. A garden that primarily uses perennials will require less replanting and maintenance than one stocked with annuals. But while annual blooms stick around for months, a perennial flowering period is much shorter.
