Fall in Love with Colorado Autumn Flowers

As the summer heat fades and the crisp mountain air rolls in, Colorado transforms into a breathtaking landscape of golden hues. But the beauty isn’t limited to the changing aspen leaves! Fall in Colorado boasts a surprisingly vibrant array of flowers, perfect for adding a touch of seasonal magic to your home or gifting to loved ones. At Bouquets, we celebrate the beauty of Colorado’s fall flora, and we’re here to guide you through the best blooms of the season.

A Kaleidoscope of Colorado Autumn Colors

Forget the notion that flowers disappear with the summer. Colorado’s autumn offers a unique palette of colors and textures. While summer wildflowers might be dwindling, they’re often replaced by stunning late bloomers and hardy fall favorites. Here's a look at some of the stars of the show:

• Mums (Chrysanthemums): Perhaps the most iconic fall flower! Mums come in a huge variety of colors – deep reds, oranges, yellows, purples, and whites. They’re incredibly versatile and long-lasting, making them a perfect choice for arrangements and planters.
• Asters: These daisy-like flowers offer a beautiful burst of color, often in shades of purple, pink, and white. They add a delicate touch to any bouquet and attract late-season pollinators.
• Sunflowers: While often associated with summer, sunflowers continue to bloom well into fall in Colorado, especially with warmer temperatures. Their cheerful faces bring a ray of sunshine to shorter days.
• Goldenrod: Don't underestimate goldenrod! Often unfairly blamed for allergies (ragweed is the culprit!), goldenrod adds a beautiful golden texture and is a vital late-season food source for bees.
• Sedum (Stonecrop): These succulent-like flowers bloom in late summer and fall, offering a unique texture and a range of colors from pink to rust.
• Yarrow: A hardy perennial, yarrow provides long-lasting color in shades of yellow, orange, and red. It’s also a beautiful addition to dried flower arrangements.
• Wildflowers (Late Bloomers): Depending on the elevation and year, you can still find remnants of summer wildflowers like Penstemon and Blanketflower blooming into early fall.
