Flowers to plant in October?

Oct 03, 2006 4 Replies

Are there any flowers I could plant now (3 October) that would survive and look moderately pretty in a few months?



I live near Atlanta. The flowers would be in a big pot that would be in a screened-in porch on the south side of the house. They'd have at least a few hours of sun each day. Temps will occasionally get below freezing in December and January, so I could bring them inside on those days, if necessary.



Thanks for any info,



Mel



Mums (with out regard to species name) or flowering cabbages or flowering kale.

I'm in Atlanta too and thinking of planting some Violas this year.

I just planted my wildflower seeds a week ago. I planted California poppies, bluebonnets, larkspur, nigella and others. These come up every spring, but I still collect seed and put it out in the fall for spring.
