Try cool color palettes for fall

Do you tend to have abundant red, orange and yellow hues in your fall garden? Why not include a few rich purples in the mix? The purple Mexican bush sage flowers will add drama and depth to your garden this time of year, especially when planted with red or orange. With more subdued sunlight in fall, this color contrast is easier on the eyes, too. Or try lavender-blue mistflower — which complements yellow flowers and chartreuse foliage. Whether you have a container to fill or a large cottage garden, there’s a variety of fall flowers here to choose from for practically every situation and garden style.
