The best fall annuals for San Antonio

Petunias



Almost every landscape needs a fall refresh to give your landscape new life for the fall and prepare for cooler temperatures.

 

 

Now is the right time to do the following:

• Add mulch to the landscape beds
• Compost on turf
• Replace plants that have died over the summer
• Add seasonal annuals to your beds and pots



Sweet Alyssum



 

What season annuals work best in San Antonio? We recommend Petunias, Fall Aster, Dianthus and Sweet Alyssum. Many want to plants Mums this time of year and that will work here but for a very short window of time.







Dianthus

Fall Aster
