What Blooms in November

Sedum

Succulent leaves, tough as nails. Ages to deep crimson in autumn.

Aster

The grand finale of the garden season. Essential for fall pollinators.

Chrysanthemum

The fall icon. Mounds of color when everything else is fading.

Fountain Grass

Arching, bottlebrush plumes that catch the light. Movement in the garden.

Miscanthus

Tall, graceful plumes that persist through winter. Living architecture.

Native Witch Hazel

Spidery yellow flowers and intoxicating clove fragrance on bare branches in late fall. The last native shrub to bloom each year.

Pink Muhly Grass

Billowing pink seed clouds float over fine foliage in autumn and remain attractive dried.

Lantana

Multi-colored flower clusters that bloom relentlessly in brutal heat.

Sweet Olive

Small clustered flowers perfume the garden with an apricot-like scent over a long season.

Turk's Cap

Nodding red hibiscus flowers that never fully open are pure hummingbird candy across the Gulf South.

Bougainvillea

Explosive cascades of papery bracts. Covers walls and fences in color.

Camellia

Glossy evergreen with rose-like blooms in the depths of winter.

Hawaiian Hibiscus

Large tropical blooms in vivid colors appear repeatedly from spring through fall.

Meyer Lemon

Sweetly scented white blossoms appear intermittently year-round and set thin-skinned lemons.

Bird of Paradise

Sculptural, crane-like flowers in orange and blue. Unmistakable.
