8 Showy Shrubs to Plant This Fall for a Colorful Florida Winter

🌱💐 8 Showy Shrubs to Plant This Fall for a Colorful Florida Winter

Fall planting isn't only about getting plants established before next summer. In our Florida gardens, it also means getting ready for winter flower season.
Some of these shrubs are starting their show now, while others are building toward their best display in the cooler months.
And the colors are anything but wintry: red, white, purple, electric blue and even fragrant yellow flowers.

• 🌼Aglaia odorata - Chinese Perfume Plant
  Tiny yellow flowers don't look dramatic until you smell them. Their sweet perfume can carry surprisingly far through the garden, making this an understated shrub you'll notice before you even see it. 👉 More
• 🌼 Bauhinia galpinii - Pride of De Kaap
  Brilliant orange-red flowers cover this sprawling Bauhinia and keep the garden looking tropical well into the cooler season. Let it grow as a large shrub or train it where its long branches have room to show off. 👉 More
• 🌼 Calliandra haematocephala - Red Powderpuff
  Those fluffy red "powderpuffs" are actually masses of long stamens, and they look especially festive against the green foliage. A cheerful tropical shrub that can keep producing color when much of the garden slows down. 👉 More
• 🌼 Clerodendrum schmidtii - Chains of Glory
  This one earns its name. Long, cascading chains of tiny white flowers spill from the branches like holiday garlands. When a mature plant is in full bloom, it can be spectacular. 👉 More
• 🌼 Clerodendrum wallichii - Bridal Veil
  Another cool-season Clerodendrum, but with a different look. Elegant white flower clusters hang against glossy dark foliage, giving the shrub a clean, almost formal appearance while it is blooming. 👉 More
• 🌼 Eranthemum pulchellum - Blue Sage
  True blue is hard to find in tropical flowers. This shrub saves its brilliant blue flower spikes for the cooler season, making that unusual color even more welcome in the winter garden.👉 More
• 🌼 Tibouchina multiflora - Glory Bush
  Purple flowers and velvety foliage make this shrub ornamental even before the big show begins. When it blooms, clusters of rich violet-purple flowers bring a surprisingly lush look to the cool-season garden. 👉 More
• 🌼 Malvaviscus × penduliflorus Variegata - Summer Snow
  The foliage alone makes 'Summer Snow' worth growing: green leaves splashed generously with creamy white. Add dangling red Turk's-cap flowers and you get color even when the plant isn't in peak bloom. 👉 More
