  3. Marigolds: These bright yellow, orange, and red flowers are hardy and can withstand the cooler temperatures of fall. They are often used in autumnal decor and are known for their pest-repelling properties.

  4. Sunflowers: While typically considered a summer flower, some varieties of sunflowers can bloom well into October, adding bright, cheerful colors to gardens.

  5. Sedum (Stonecrop): These hardy succulents have star-shaped flowers that bloom in late summer to fall, typically in shades of pink, red, or white. They have fleshy leaves that can also provide interest throughout the year.

  6. Pansies and Violas: These flowers can tolerate the cooler temperatures of autumn and come in a wide range of colors. They are perfect for adding color to beds, borders, and containers during October.

  7. Zinnias: Zinnias can continue to bloom into October in areas that do not experience early frosts. They come in a variety of colors and shapes, making them versatile for garden use.

  8. Goldenrod: This yellow-flowered plant is often seen in wildflower meadows and gardens. It blooms in late summer and fall, providing a splash of bright color.

  9. Japanese Anemones: These elegant flowers come in shades of pink and white and have a delicate, airy look. They typically bloom in late summer through fall.
