Container Gardens to Fall For.

Fall container gardens are some of the most fun (and challenging!) to create. Plant material must be able to handle temperature extremes since one day can be a balmy 70 degrees and the next can be in the high 30’s. So, what’s the trick for creating fall containers, like ours, that look good from September until the end of November? One word: foliage.

Creating a long-lasting fall container garden is not hard if you focus on foliage. There are many great, and colorful, options that you can incorporate into your fall designs. Cabbages, kales, Swiss chards (especially the Bright Lights series), heuchera, and euphorbia are all wonderful options. Cool season herbs and veggies like sage or lettuce are great fillers. Perennials like amsonia and bergenia can be planted in summer containers and allowed to transition into fall. As the weather cools the ferny foliage of the amsonia will turn buttery yellow and the leathery leaves of the bergenia will begin to tinge pink. 

Fall is such a beautiful time of year, why not keep the beauty going with your container gardens?
