Wow! Knock-Your-Eye-Out color!
Even this late in the Fall season? Yes! We love the vibrancy of early Fall flowers and these are our favs at Flea Market Gardening. Here are Chartreuse Pineapple sage and Rudbeckia ‘Cherokee Sunset’ from my California garden that make a great combination and were planted from 4 ” pots early in summer.
Chartreuse Pineapple sage and Rudbeckia ‘Cherokee Sunset’
Both bloom until mid-Autumn or until the first frost, but I grow Pineapple sage for two reasons,…the color of the leaves and that the deer don’t like it! It has red spiky flowers, pretty insignificant compared to the foliage. And the ‘Cherokee Sunset?’ Spectacular!

Christy Morrow “The garden looked better than ever and still looks good even for October. Here’s a very small piece of it taken this summer. I grow both plants you mention above. The Pineapple Sage is still blooming but my Rudbeckia are done blooming around the first of September. Of course I save the Rudbeckia seeds!”
