Gardening experts say there are 7 flowers you'll want to plant this autumn
Gardening experts at Yimbly have offered their top tips on the plants you should be planting now - and how to make the most of them
If you've been thinking about adding some new blooms to your garden, then you may want to start looking at the likes of Wallflowers and Primula, according to gardening insiders.
The experts have revealed the flowers which you'll want to plant in autumn. According to the pros, the likes of Wallflowers, Dianthus, and Rosa Amirose are well worth having on your radar if you're looking to give your garden a bit of an uplift once the hot summer months have passed.
These rare and unique plants can be difficult to get your hands on, but the good news is that you can avoid disappointment and start pre-ordering your plants now, meaning ample time to plan your displays. In fact, you can already pre-order yours on Yimbly.com and beat the rush of fellow green-thumbed Brits, not to mention it takes out that last-minute stress of trying to decide which flowers to buy.
Not sure which ones would work best for you? Luckily, they've shared a guide below on the top plants to have on your radar - and what makes them so unique.
Wallflowers: these can make a brilliant companion plant for spring flowering bulbs especially Tulips.
Dianthus: these are a classic cottage garden favourite and is a beautiful cut flower.
Erysimums: These are great for pollinators and have a long flowering season.
Viola: Handy for filling containers and hanging baskets and also ideal to plant above bulbs.
Primula: Pretty, pink, compact and long lasting, these early flowering blooms can thrive in a pot by the front door to cheer up a winter's day.
Dendranthema/Chrysanthemum: If you're after plants for late summer or autumn colour, these need to be on your radar, not to mention these long-lasting cut flowers can also fill any gaps in borders!
Rosa Amirose: These colour changing fragrant blooms are pretty special and can be ideal for low-growing groundcover rose. They can have a long flowering season from May to October, not to mention they have good resistance to common rose diseases making them pretty reliable.
The ideal time to plant each one can vary, but these tend to thrive when planted around September/October time. Of course during the summer months, what can be a headache for Brits is having to choose between tending to your garden, or heading off abroad for some guaranteed summer sun (especially as the UK weather doesn't always play ball).
The good news is that, according to the gardening experts, there are ways you can help your plants thrive even if you're going to be away for a couple of weeks. Their top tip? "Keep deadheading through the summer to encourage more blooms." They added: "When going on holiday, group containers of plants together so they don't dry out too quickly."
You can already pre-order these on Yimbly.com, with free shipping on orders over £50. Oh, and if you order before June 25, 2025, you'll enjoy a 10% introductory discount too.

Youngsters set to spend £1,170 on ‘spontaneous summer' with majority dipping into savings to cover cost, research shows
SPLASH OUT Youngsters set to spend £1,170 on 'spontaneous summer' with majority dipping into savings to cover cost, research shows Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SUMMER of spontaneity may be off the cards, after new research has revealed it could set young adults back £1,170. The study of 2,000 adults found 18-34 year olds will face parting with £90.22 a week on unplanned activities. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Young adults face parting with over £90 a week on unplanned activities this summer Credit: SWNS 3 Expert Rajan Lakhani acknowledged that it's hard to turn down spontaneous plans in hotter weather Credit: SWNS Also, a hefty 67 per cent admitted they are far more likely to go out on a whim now than at any other time of year, with 47 per cent justifying their actions with a 'you only live once' attitude. These last minute outings include pub visits (27 per cent) and day trips (38 per cent) - while a further 21 per cent will even attend a festival at the drop of a hat. Rajan Lakhani, personal finance expert for Plum, which commissioned the research, said: 'When the days are longer and the weather is warmer, it is only natural we want to be out more taking part in activities. 'During the summer there is so much for young people to do, from festivals, day trips and holidays abroad, it's no wonder so many people love to splurge.' However, with youngsters being strapped for cash, 68 per cent find themselves dipping into savings to cover the cost. The research revealed that people have to take £125 out of their pot each month over the summer period. Mr Lakhani said: 'When you're young you're more care-free and have more wiggle room to be spontaneous in your life, but it does come at a cost.' However, despite the more care-free attitude adopted in the hotter months, only 14 per cent of Brits actually feel prepared when it comes to last minute summer splurges. Of those who do have spontaneous expenses, it leaves 17 per cent feeling guilt, while the same percentage feel happy in the moment, but regretful later. But, 42 per cent admitted to finding it hard to say no to fun activities when the sun is shining, even if they are on a tight budget. Mr Lakhani added: 'It's not just younger people who struggle to say no when the weather turns nice. 'The whole nation feels the pinch when something fun in the sun crops up. 'But it is surprising how few people feel prepared for this, even though it seems to happen every year.' The data also revealed that 42 per cent of young people use their current account to cover these unforeseen expenses, 40 per cent use an active savings account, and just 15 per cent use a cash ISA. To help them stay on top of their finances, 37 per cent would be likely to use a budgeting tool that automatically analyses summer spending, according to the OnePoll figures. Mr Lakhani said: 'Fortunately, there are automated tools that help you easily review your summer spending and help you get it under control. 'This includes lots of ways to manage spending, including savings tools like round-ups, which are designed to help you save while you spend, so spontaneous spending sprees won't leave you feeling regretful.'
