It's hard to know what to plant in the fall. But believe it or not, flower bulbs, vegetables and shrubs all thrive when planted during this time of year. Some will bloom later in the season, and others will make their beautiful debut in the spring.

The best time of year to plant bulbs is in the fall. Flower bulbs need a period of time in the cold ground in order to have a beautiful spring bloom. If you're wondering what bulbs to plant in fall, allium, buttercup, daffodils, hyacinth and spider lily are all great choices.

Bushes to Plant in the Fall

Bushes should be planted in the fall when the soil is still warm enough for the roots to establish. If you want to plant a bush this fall, consider a burning bush. A burning bush will turn green to bright red in the fall, and is a beautiful, low-maintenance option for any gardener.
