The Fall Garden Now Counts Toward Curb Appeal

Autumn is no longer the season a garden goes quiet. Architectural Digest has published a guide identifying seven flowers suited to an autumnal planting, aimed at keeping a yard in bloom as the weather turns. For the estates and properties this desk covers, where a garden is as much a part of a listing's presentation as its facade, the timing matters: a well-planted fall bed keeps curb appeal intact straight through the shoulder season. The guidance offers homeowners and gardeners a way to extend color into October and beyond, rather than closing the beds down for winter.
