I'm selling my home this fall in Ottawa, Ontario, and I want to spruce up the curb appeal before showings. I'm looking for suggestions on what to plant in front of the house that will still look nice through September and October. Has anyone had success with fall flowers, shrubs, or any quick fixes that could help make a welcoming impression for potential buyers? I'm after simple ideas that make a strong first impression.

Instead of planting new flowers, think about getting some pumpkins or potted mums. They can really enhance your house's appearance without permanent changes. Plus, they’re seasonal and fit the fall vibe well!
Consider getting some perennials that are currently blooming and put them in pots. You can take them with you to your new place after the sale! They’ll give your yard a vibrant touch while being practical for your move.
Mums are a great choice for this time of year! You can find plenty at local stores, and they’ll keep blooming if you keep deadheading them. They add a nice pop of color for curb appeal.

Do you think it might help to clear out the garden for a tidier look?
