Fall Flowers for Outdoor Thanksgiving Decorations

As the air grows crisp and leaves begin to drift earthward, Mother Nature puts on a colorful show with her fall flowers. Her autumnal creations are perfect adornments for our Thanksgiving festivities. So, here are some popular fall flower varieties that are well-suited for Thanksgiving decorations!

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums are popular fall flowers for Thanksgiving that will also be easy to find in your local garden center around Thanksgiving time. They come in a variety of colors like white, yellow, bronze, burgundy, and more. Chrysanthemums can withstand light frost so they will still look good on your Thanksgiving table that is setup outdoors. They also have a long vase life so you can enjoy them for over a week after getting them from your flower shop in Philadelphia PA.

Sunflowers

While sunflowers are commonly thought of as summer flowers, there are varieties that continue blooming into fall. Look for later blooming varieties with names like Mammoth, Giant, and Lemon Queen. Sunflowers add height and color to fall flower arrangements– perfect for your thanksgiving flower delivery. They can stand alone in a vase on your outdoor dining table or be incorporated into a mixed flower arrangement.

Asters

Asters come in various sizes at many Philadelphia florists, from smaller pot varieties to taller flowers that would work well planted in your garden beds. Some popular fall aster colors are purple, white, pink, and lavender. Different varieties of asters will bloom from late summer through fall. They prefer full sun and average well-drained soil and they have a classic fall flower appearance that will look lovely on your Thanksgiving tables.

Snapdragons

While snapdragons usually bloom in spring and summer, some varieties like the Pompon series will continue blooming until the first frosts of fall. Snapdragons come in a lot of bright colors like red, pink, orange, and yellow at many florists in Philadelphia PA. They hold their color well in bouquets and Thanksgiving flower arrangements. You can plant snapdragons in the garden and cut flowering stems to use indoors on your outdoor Thanksgiving tables.

Calendulas

Calendulas, also called pot marigolds, are cheerful, sunny flowers for the fall garden. These fall bouquet flowers come in shades of yellow, orange, and cream. Calendulas are great for cutting bouquets that will last at least a week. Place their bright blooms in a centerpiece or small vase on your outdoor dining tables for a warm fall pop of color on Thanksgiving.

Dahlias

Dahlias produce colorful blooms in shades of yellow, orange, red, burgundy, and bi-colored varieties from summer into fall. The blooms hold their shape and color remarkably well when cut. Dahlias thrive in full sun and rich, moist soil. Cut dahlia stems will last over a week in a vase. Use dahlias in your Thanksgiving decorations by placing them on the edges of your outdoor dining tables in small clear vases or glass jars.

Pansies

While pansies are commonly thought of as a cool weather flower for spring and fall, there are also specially bred types that will continue flowering through the summer months and into early fall. These happy Thanksgiving flowers come in colors like yellow, blue, burgundy, orange, and bi-colors. Their small round faces add charm to the centerpieces and edges of outdoor Thanksgiving dining tables. Pansies can handle some light fall frosts so they remain a low maintenance option for Thanksgiving decor.
