What flowers that can be easily grown in Indiana will bloom into late September?
Question:We are having a wedding in my backyard. We are looking for flowers that will still be in bloom at the end of September. We've thought of mums already. We would like to find a vine that would grown on a trellis nicely and still be blooming if possible. Any other suggestions are most welcome as well. Thanks!
Answers:
morning glories usually continue to bloom well into fall.
Ivy grows like crazy and it will bloom nicely again in the spring. If you plant some now, by September it should look lush. If you want some color, Impatiens would do well. Impatiens come in a variety of colors such as pink, violet, red, orange and white.
Asters. Try the Michaelmas Daisy. It's named so because it is in bloom around September 29th which is the feast day of St Michael.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening from Cathy and Neal!
All the above answers are good. I would like to add the daylilly. Not only blooms into the fall but the flowers are tasty in salads or alone. Tastes like sweet lettuce. They can also tolerate a variety of soils and conditions once established.
Marigolds are lovely until late fall and can even take a light frost. Sunflowers (Helianthus) bloom until fall. Pansies will bloom again in the fall. I like ornamental kale, especially the purple ones.
You could also try Dahlias. They will bloom until the first frost.They are easy to plant, and come in hundreds of different colours. I have very little problem with bugs on mine.The price I pay per tuber varies from a $1.00 to a high of $ 15.00. There is a Dahlia society, to find a grower near you.One of biggest growers I know of is in Canby,Oregon.They are called Swan Island Dahlias. I don't think they have a web site. Do check out these flowers for a great variety in style of blooms. Have nice wedding day.
