October: until Jack Frost arrives…
Flower farmers hold their breath and pray that nights don’t get cold and nip out their outdoor flowers. As the days shorten and frosts arrive, the flower beds edge towards winter. Until Jack Frost bites them, we enjoy dahlias, goldenrod, fluffy clematis seedheads, nasturtiums, strawflowers, chrysanthemums, asters, sedum, cosmos daisies and the welcome return of eucalyptus foliage.
