In crowded cities, a small balcony and small flower pots are the "gardening base" for most flower lovers. If you want to keep a limited space full of life for a long time, perennial herbaceous flowers are definitely the best choice-- plant once, enjoy for years, and save yourself the trouble of repeated sowing. Today we recommend 3 kinds of perennial herbaceous flowers suitable for buying in autumn; even beginners can grow them easily!

1. Daisy

The daisy is like a "little sun"

In autumn and winter, it slowly grows compact rosette-shaped leaves, quietly building up strength, and by early spring the following year it can put out one after another small white, yellow or pink flowers. Although the blooms are small, the flowering quantity is large, and the whole pot is full of "little stars"

2. Calendula

Calendula's flower colors are especially eye-catching; the orange-yellow and golden-yellow blooms come with a built-in "warm filter"

In the warm regions of the south, you can see it bloom in autumn and winter; although the flowering quantity is not as great as in spring, the scattered blooms can still add color to autumn and winter; by early spring, after the temperature rises, it enters its full flowering period, with flowers both large and vivid, and not only are they beautiful, but some varieties can also be eaten or used to make tea. When caring for it, note that it likes an environment with plenty of light, and the soil should be loose and well-draining, avoiding water accumulation in the pot.

3. Chrysanthemum

When it comes to autumn flowers, the chrysanthemum is definitely one of the "stars"

If you have mature chrysanthemums at home, you can also divide and transplant them in autumn; the small seedlings after division can quickly adapt to the new environment and continue to bloom the following year. When caring for them, note that chrysanthemums like a cool and ventilated environment; during the flowering period, avoid direct strong light, and when watering, do not splash onto the petals, so as to prevent rot.
