Japanese anemone starts blooming in late summer and goes straight through until frost. The paper-like blooms are white with yellow stamens in the center, and they're known to attract butterflies. This plant requires little maintenance once it's established, though some taller plants might need staking to prevent flopping. Plus, if you live in a cooler part of its growing zone, it can be helpful to add a layer of mulch prior to cold weather to keep the roots warm.

Mums (Chrysanthemum)
Mums are a common sight of fall in the garden, with their brilliant and profuse small blooms. Many mum varieties are available, but not all of them are particularly hardy. If you plan to grow yours as a perennial, it's best to get it in the ground in the spring to become established before cold weather hits. Make sure your plant is well watered, especially in hot weather. And put a layer of mulch around the planting site before prior to cold weather to keep the roots warm.
