Celosia

These unusual looking flowers are great to add to containers or fall borders. They come in orange and other fall colors, like yellow and red. Add these plants to low growing flowers for a diverse look.

Chrysanthemums

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

Helenium look similar to daisies that have beautiful two toned petals. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage the plant to bloom more colorful flowers for you.

Kalanchoes

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

Marigolds come in bright orange, the perfect addition to your fall garden. Their flowers look similar to carnations with many petals overlapping each other. Make sure the plants get plenty of sun.

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.

Cosmos

Cosmos are another great choice since they come in a variety of colors. They also make great cut flowers because of their long stems. If you enjoy butterflies and birds in your garden, make sure to grow plenty of cosmos.

Zinnias

Zinnias can add a pop of color to any garden with their vividly colored blooms. Some come in an orange so dark that they look red. Zinnias also make great cut flowers and can grow up to 3 feet high.

Lantanas

Colorful lantanas are great to grow in containers and in arid weather. Many of these plants do not just come in one color, but in several. Beautiful sunset colored lantanas would make a great addition to any fall garden.

California Poppies

I can’t mention orange flowers without talking about our beloved California Poppies. Of course, these don’t grow in all climates, but are great to have around when you can. These hardy flowers grow best in full sun and well draining soil.
