Fall Container-Garden Recipes - Part 4

Play Up Texture

Frost-tolerant flowering kale is a perfect choice for adding color and texture to late-season containers. Try a handful of varieties to create a bold look.

A. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Osaka White'): 2

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

C. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Redbor'): 1


Use an Interesting Container

Top off a set of great plants with a fun container, such as an old, cracked birdbath. Or consider an old bushel basket, wooden crate, or other material with character.
A. Lysimachia 'Golden Globe': 1
B. Coleus (Solenostemon 'Tiny Toes'): 1
C. Chrysanthemum 'Blushing Emily': 2
D. Kale (Brassica oleracea): 2
E. Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender': 1
F. Coralbells (Heuchera 'Dolce Creme Brulee'): 1
G. Rubygrass (Melinis 'Pink Champagne'): 1


Add Art

Give your fall container gardens a bit of whimsy by adding artistic elements. A candle, for example, ties into the colors and gives the container additional height and texture.

A. Chrysanthemum 'Cheryl': 2

B. Sedge (Carex flagellifera): 1

C. Golden creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'): 1

D. Pansy (Viola 'Icicle'): 3

E. Purple fountaingrass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'): 1

Select Soft Colors

Contrast autumn's bold and bright reds, oranges, and yellows with soft shades of pink, lavender, and burgundy.
A. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Osaka Purple'): 1
B. Pansy (Viola 'Icicle'): 4
C. Chrysanthemum 'Debonaire': 2

D. Purple fountaingrass (Pennisetum 'Red Riding Hood'): 1
