    Some small evergreen azaleas, they will not bloom again until next spring but make sure that you get the evergreen type.

    Mums are probably the best at this time of year

    cyclamen is great as it blooms on and off right up to frost, however, it likes shade.

    If you want flowers that come back your best bet is to plant bulbs in the fall

    Columbine are beautiful and if you can get them in bloom, plant them and they will bloom until frost they grow 15" - 20" takes sun or partial shade

    Astilbe bloons June/ July and has beautiful frothy spikes (many different colors) likes light shade and plant them at least 12" apart as they fill in

    Shasta daisies come back each year and bloom in summer, they like sunny fairly dry conditions
