Flowering Out of Season

My forsythia, lilacs and bridal wreath spirea each had a few blooms this fall. Will this kill the plant?

Flowering Out of Season

No. Fall flowering often occurs when we have extreme temperature fluctuations, droughts or other stressful conditions. The fall blooming will not affect the health of the plant just reduce the number of blossoms next spring.
