Ornamental mustard brings a burst of heat-loving color to fall gardens when most annuals are fading. Miz America grows fast and rewarding, with deeply lobed leaves in shades that deepen as temperatures drop—plant it in September or October and watch it strengthen through our mild winters.

Full sun and average soil suit it fine. Unlike its edible cousins, this one is grown for leaf color and texture, not the plate, though it's equally unfussy about care.
