Read on below for more colorful flowers that bloom at this season.

Purple coneflower also wins kudos for longevity. Bold rose blooms with domed seed heads sprout until the mercury crashes. This perennial favorite rewards you with winter interest plus plenty of seeds to delight the birds. For variety, try the white or yellow Echinacea cultivars.

Black-eyed Susan
Rudbeckia hirta
