I HAVE ASTERS AND THEY TAKE A GOOD FREEZE TO KILL THEM IN FALL. I ALSO HAVE ZINNIAS, COSMOS AND MARIGOLDS & THEY ARE FROM SEED BUT NOT AS FREEZE PROOF. IN MY EXPERIENCE THESE ARE VERY EASY TO GROW. THIS WEB SITE HAS TONS OF OTHER STUFF INCLUDING ANNUALS AND PERENNIALS.

Both my wife and my mother like to use "Plasticia Americana". You can plant them and get immediate color, almost any you want. They can even be made to 'grow' on trees and bushes.
Just go the nearest $1 store and pick out a bunch of plastic flowers. They will last all fall and winter. You might even be able to use them again next year.

Perennials, shrubs and timber might want to be planted as a lot as a month before the floor freezes (it is later than first frost). Bulbs might want to be planted all the way as a lot because the floor getting frozen. In Delaware, that meant i might want to nevertheless plant in mid-October.

ornamental kales, flowering cabbages and dusty miller, marigolds, all provide the landscape with color well after frosty weather arrives. But don't be afraid to mix in some tender annuals, too. Their contribution will be brief, but spectacular. Most annual plants are on the clearance racks at your local gardening centers.

If you'll go to the nearest Lowes or Home Depot, they'll have all of the fall flowers out or inform you of the fall and winter plants coming soon.

Sedums are very, very hardy - they are not particularly showy - although I like their foliage. A group of sedums together looks nice.

Try snapdragons or pansies. They're winter annuals.
