What flowers bloom in autumn and how to use them?

Autumn brings the magic of warm colours to nature, not only thanks to the falling leaves of the trees, but also thanks to the blooming of specific flowers that are characteristic of this season. While the spring and summer months offer delicate pastel tones, autumn flowers boast rich colours and resistance to cooler temperatures. Let's take a look at the most popular flowers that stand out during this season and how best to use them for arrangements and decor.

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums, often referred to as the 'queens of autumn', are one of the most famous flowers of the season. This flower is grown in many colours, including yellow, orange, purple and white, making it a versatile choice for autumn decorations.

Uses in arrangements: The long shelf life of chrysanthemums makes them ideal for both outdoor and indoor arrangements. The chrysanthemums can be used for long-lasting, long-lasting decorations and are excellent in flower baskets or as part of door wreaths. The large flowers look very impressive in combination with smaller flowers such as asters or ornamental grasses.

Dahlias

Often grown in gardens, dahlias start flowering in late summer and continue until the first frosts. Dahlias are popular for their richness of colour and flower shapes - from small and simple to large and intricately arranged.

Uses in arrangements: Daisies are a great centrepiece for any autumn bouquet due to their distinctive colour and shape. They are ideal for large bouquets on dining tables, where their abundant blooms are impressive. They can be complemented with eucalyptus or branches of ornamental shrubs, for example.

Asters

Asters are particularly popular for their star-shaped flowers and wide range of colours, from white to deep purple shades. They are not only attractive but also very hardy to colder conditions.

Use in arrangements: Asters make delicate and romantic arrangements that can be ideal for interior decoration. Their tiny flowers are a perfect complement to larger flowers such as dahlias or roses, adding airiness and lightness to the bouquet.

Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are known for their voluminous flowers, which take on muted tones in autumn - from pink to purple to green. Although it flowers mainly in summer, its flowers retain their beauty even during autumn, when they gradually change colour.

Use in arrangements: Hydrangeas are excellent for dried arrangements as they retain their shape and colour even when dried. They can be part of wreaths or decorations indoors, where they create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Saffron (Crocus sativus)

Although saffron (Crocus sativus) is best known for its use as a spice, several species of ornamental saffron also flower in autumn and make a great addition to garden plantings.

Saffron is often planted in gardens where it produces a delicate carpet of flowers. In arrangements, it is used more as an accessory for their delicate and fragile aesthetic. Its use is particularly suitable in combination with other autumn perennials.

Ornamental grasses

Ornamental grasses are an ideal addition to autumn arrangements. Miscanthus, Pennisetum and Carex are among the most popular. Ornamental grasses add dynamism and texture to an arrangement.

Uses in arrangements: Grasses add lightness and movement to an arrangement. They complement solid flowers such as chrysanthemums or dahlias and create a natural, rustic look. They are also suitable for dried decorations or wreaths.

How to use autumn flowers in bouquets?

Autumn flowers are ideal for creating rich and striking bouquets. With their rich colours and varied textures, autumn bouquets create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Combining flowers such as chrysanthemums, dahlias and asters with ornamental grasses, cones or twigs allows for rustic and natural arrangements.

For a fuller look, layer larger flowers at the bottom of the bouquet and add finer flowers and grasses as accents. The resulting bouquet looks harmonious and gives the space an authentic autumnal feel.

Conclusion

Autumn is a time when we can take full advantage of the richness of colour and texture that autumn flowers have to offer. Whether you want to create an impressive bouquet, a romantic table arrangement or an original decoration for an outdoor space, autumn flowers such as chrysanthemums, dahlias or asters provide endless possibilities for creative floral expression.
