Flowering plants for September

Depending on the summer months Aster x frikartii ‘Mönch’ and Sedum autumn joy are two of the most dependable September flowering plants. Both the sedum and the aster are plants loved by bees and other insects.

Both plants should flower well into the autumn until the first frosts arrive in your garden.

Both plants are available to your MyGardenTeam members on our plant swap program as bare root plants from September until the end of February.
