Every gardener knows that mums are a fall favorite, but these flowers barely scratch the surface of great flowers for fall. Good fall annuals must be unaffected by temperature changes and grow despite less sunshine. Here are a few annuals that fill the bill:
Orange Diascia. These charmers are in the snapdragon family. They grow well in full to part sun and are self-cleaning, which means no deadheading. Plants reach 8-12 inches in height.
Osteospermum. If you like daisies, find a home for Osteospermum (African Daisies) in your landscape. Plant them in sun to part shade. Osteospermum look great in containers and come in dark and light purples, white, yellow and orange hues.

Argyranthemum. Plant them in full or part sun. Argyranthemum look great in containers and grow 18-24 inches tall.
Calibrachoa. This plant hasn’t been around long – the first plants were identified in 1989 and the first cultivars were released in 1992. Use calibrachoa in full sun in hanging baskets or containers. The flowers resemble petunias, although they are not sticky, and were first referred to as Seashore Petunias.
