Autumn is a wonderful time for those who love plants! The warm and cheerful colors of seasonal plants fill our vases and pots, and so we have beautiful terraces until the winter frosts. Buying autumn plants does not require a large budget: with just a few euros we can create amazing compositions.
Below you can see some of the most interesting autumn plants:
Cyclamen
With large and small flowers, very resistant. Their flowering period is longer if they are protected from rain and frost.
Erica
Its flowering lasts much longer if it is in partial shade and if its soil is sufficiently watered (avoid creating stagnant water). We fertilize every 15-20 days, with Cifo’s liquid fertilizer for acidophilic plants, which contributes to maintaining flowering.

They come in many different shapes and sizes and their flowering lasts a long time. They need regular fertilization every 15 days with Cifo liquid fertilizer for flowering plants. We must remember to remove the faded flowers to encourage the formation and opening of new buds. They often remain in bloom until December, if they are slightly protected from frost.
Pansies
Excellent choice for pots and flower beds: they are inexpensive, colorful and durable, almost always lasting until spring. They should be fertilized throughout the fall with Cifo liquid fertilizer for flowering plants, fertilizing should be stopped in winter and repeated from February-March onwards.
Aster
We try to protect them from heavy rain to prolong their flowering and help them maintain their vitality with υγρό λίπασμα Cifo γενικής χρήσης.
Ornamental cabbages
Small or large, in many wonderful colors, they are very resistant to cold and lend themselves to beautiful compositions with other seasonal plants. They remain beautiful even in the snow. At the end of winter they lose their compact form. Be careful not to water them too much and do not bring them indoors: they cannot stand the heat.
Chili peppers
Decorative small peppers, maintain their beauty if watered regularly and protected from severe frost.
Solanum
A hardy plant that can live for years if protected from frost. In autumn, its small white flowers produce long-lasting, inedible, small, round, impressive fruits.
Other autumn plants that can decorate pots and flower beds:
- Pernettya and Sinforina, shrubby plants with beautiful, colorful fruits
- Ambelia, a shrub with small white flowers that is very resistant to both frost and summer heat
- Ivy, with small, greenish flowers, organized in inflorescences.
