I reworked this path by the garage earlier in the year—Here, a patch of annual scarlet sage adores the fall sunlight as the year begins to wind down—

A tiny visitor on an older variety of pink chrysanthemum in the garden—Like asters, these truly elevate the fall garden & feed pollinators late in the season—If you live in the south as I do, be sure to cut back in June to encourage multiple buds per stem and avoid early blooming—

Monarch butterflies stopping by the garden on their way to Mexico—If you grow dahlias, it’s good to include single-flowered varieties for pollinators—I grow both singles and doubles—

Soft yellow chrysanthemums in the garden—Along with asters, one of the best fall flowers—Single-flowered varieties like this are vital pollinator favorites at a time when other plants are winding down—

On the front porch—I think I shall always have zinnias in the garden—Easy from seed, one of the best for pollinators—

White flowers as dusk starts to settle—Moon flower, foxglove, & white ginger—A fantastically large moth visited the moonflowers just as I walked up—The moon flowers have a delightful fragrance, but the ginger -intoxicating!—

Glorious sunflowers—One of the easiest annuals to start from seed, you can collect more at the end of each season and have them forever—Leave the plants through winter; even dead, they will feed the birds and harbor insects—
