Fall Container-Garden Recipes - Part 2

Plant Perennials

Perennials can be the highlight of the fall container garden, especially if you choose types with flashy foliage. Treat them as inexpensive annuals or get them in the ground as soon as you can before it freezes.

A. Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Efanthia': 1

B. Fountaingrass (Pennisetum 'Hameln'): 1

C. Diascia 'Flying Colors Trailing Red': 1

D. Coralbells (Heuchera 'Dolce Creme Brulee'): 2

Forgo Flowers

Lots of fall landscapes rely on foliage for a big bang -- so why shouldn't your container gardens? Try plants with colorful leaves so the container sill looks pretty after blooms fade.

A. Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris 'Bright Lights'): 3

B. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Pigeon Purple'): 1

C. Coralbells (Heuchera 'Marmalade'): 1


Add Formal Flair

Make a statement at your entrance with a well-placed container or two. For classic gardens, it's tough to beat an urn filled with flowers such as the one shown here.

A. Purple Fountaingrass (Pennisetum 'Burgundy Giant'): 1

B. Coleus (Solenostemon 'Sedona'): 1

C. Zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Zesty Scarlet'): 1

D. Annual black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia 'Cordoba'): 1

E. Calibrachoa 'Superbells Tequila Sunrise': 2


Keep it Cool

Asters and kale are surefire picks for a great fall show, and silvery foliage from 'Icicles' licorice plant is a perfect end-of-the-season accent.

A. Aster (Aster 'Purple Viking'): 1

B. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Kamome Red'): 2

C. Licorice plant (Helichrysum 'Icicles'): 2
