We’re in the fall season and it’s time for a great colorful duo of plants. Today Southern Gardening is at Pine Hills Nursery enjoying the colorful fall mums and marigolds, also called mari-mums.

It’s no secret that I’m a real fan of perennial salvia. These plants can be real showstoppers in our Mississippi gardens and landscapes.

Mississippi gardeners are always looking for plants that will be reliable and colorful at the end of a hot summer. I want to share a few that I’m sure will not disappoint.

Rudbeckia are big, round, colorful flowers that fit great in any garden. Let’s take a look at a few of my favorite selections. Rudbeckia are wonderful and produce lots of flowers in colors ranging from golden yellow to mahogany brown having dark center cones. They are also called gloriosa daisies, and man, do they live up to this name. Cappuccino produces flowers up to 4 inches across with dark orangy petals with a brownish red center accent splotch. Cherry Brandy has deep maroon-red flowers with a dark chocolate center cones that are welcome in any garden.
