What’s Blooming in October?
It's the end of the season. :-( Anything blooming at the beginning of October will likely be done by the end of the month. A few asters may still be hanging on when November rolls around.
Only native plants are listed here. If you are looking for something specific, try the “find in page” feature of your browser (usually CTRL+F).
