And just like that, summer turned into fall!
We knew it was coming, but it seemed to happen overnight. So if you find yourself suddenly scrambling to add some autumnal color and fall vibes to your landscape, we have plenty of ideas for you!
Add color with annuals.
This year, fill your containers with something other than (or in addition to) mums. A vibrant display of fall annuals will give your containers some new life for the new season!
Get creative using different color combinations. Need some inspiration? Why not consider:
- Ornamental Peppers
- Celosia
- Pansies
- Croton
- Asters
Add height with ornamental grasses.
Ornamental grasses will balance your containers’ design and create a stunning background for the rich, vibrant colors.
Grasses include:
- Ornamental millet
- Cordyline
- Sedge
- Fountain Grass
Add texture with foliage.
Forgo flowers for foliage to add texture to your containers or use them in addition to the blooming plants. Foliage plants like kale, which come in various shapes and colors, will last well past the first frost.
Foliage plants include:
- Flowering Kale
- Blueberry Bushes
- Croton
- Coral Bells
Whatever combination you come up with, don’t forget to add the pumpkins and gourds to ramp up the fall mood.
Try a combination of fall squash and pumpkins because nothing says fall more than pumpkins!
Don’t forget about our potting shed.
All you have to do is pick a pot, pick a plant, and pick a pumpkin to create your own fall containers. Everything you need is right there.
