Chrysanthemums, also called mums, are very popular flowers during the fall season. They grow in several colors, including orange. They need full sun (6-7 hours) to thrive and for you to enjoy in your garden.

By pinching the flowers once they have grown, you can encourage more blooms. Chrysanthemums also look great in bouquets.

Helenium

Kalanchoes are great plants to grow since they can thrive indoors or outdoors. If you live in an area that gets cold in the fall, bring in your kalanchoes to enjoy their bright blooms indoors. Make sure to keep the plant near some sunlight.

Marigold

Daisies

Daisies, specifically Gerbera daisies, grow in an array of colors, including orange. These flowers grow best in well draining soil and in full sun. Add to a bouquet for a fall centerpiece.
