Aster
Aster has the appearance of a wild plant with all the qualities of a cultivated one: strong, beautiful, long-flowering and sparkling flowers that bloom until late autumn. It is an upright growing beauty with long, narrow green leaves.
hebe
Hebe is a fabulous plant. This variant, the Struik Veronica Red Edge, has a striking green leaf with a red/pink edge. A real refresher eye-catcher in every autumn and winter garden! This evergreen plant looks great in pots, but is also perfect as ground cover.
ling heather
Beautiful, symmetrical flowers, sturdy green and a slightly weathered appearance: nothing gives late summer as much color and structure as ling heather. This plant blooms at its best in September and October and works great as a 'green carpet' in heathlands. It does well not only in the open ground, but also in pots. Heather combines very nicely with grasses, as you can see in the photo.
fountain grass
The elegant blades of fountain grass are also known as lamp-cleaner grass, for clear reason after observing the brushes. With its look & feel, this plant is a stylish, graceful addition to any outdoor space.
Chrysanthemum
What's your favourite autumn colour? Whatever you choose, there's a good chance chrysanthemums come in that shade. They're the perfect way you to add cheerfulness to your outdoor space this season. Why not try them in a few different hues?
alumroot
Alumroot is also known as heuchera and gives an instant Indian summer feeling. With this variety (Heuchera 'Melting Fire') you can bring warmth into the garden.
Autumn anemone
An eye-catcher with a big heart, that's the best way to describe the autumn anemone. The heart protrudes above the soft petals like a fountain. The heart of the autumn anemone can have different colours, as can the flowers. Autumn anemones bloom from the end of July until frost and the flowers are white, pink, blue or purple in colour.
Hellebore
The radiant flowers of the Hellebore, also known as Christmas rose, put a big smile on your face. The Christmas rose treats you until April with buds from which large flowers grow, each with a beautiful 'crown' as a heart. In a pot or in the ground, this garden plant feels at home anywhere.
boxberry
The first thing you notice about Boxberry are the beautiful berries and graceful leaves. The berries, which emerge from the flowers that bloom in summer, are red, pink or white and last until spring. This plant is a winter-hardy ground cover that grows in the open ground in width. However, Boxberry also looks beautiful in containers and pots on the terrace or balcony.
