Fall Container-Garden Recipes

Grow Glorious Grasses

Grasses are a no-brainer for fall gardens. Keep them in mind for your container plantings, too. Most grasses look great in pots. Here, purple fountaingrass and blue fescue create a lovely contrast for pink mums and yellow strawflower.

A. Blue fescue (Festuca glauca): 1

B. Chrysanthemum 'Cecilia': 2

C. Strawflower (Bracteantha 'Sundaze Golden Yellow'): 1

D. Purple fountaingrass (Pennisetum 'Burgundy Giant'): 1


Make an Accent

Small containers are great accents because you can easily move them for parties, to fill in gaps in the garden, or just to change up your yard's look. This container is a perfect match for a festive series of small pumpkins.

A. Zinnia (Zinnia 'Magellan Orange'): 1

B. Lamium maculatum : 1

C. Pansy (Viola 'Panola Orange'): 1

D. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): 1

E. Celosia 'Prestige Scarlet': 1


Mix Materials

Great container gardens aren't always just live plants. Here, dried hydrangea flowers add grace and interest to a charming planting.

A. Pig squeak (Bergenia cordifolia): 2

B. Sedum 'Xenox': 2

C. Rubygrass (Melinis 'Pink Crystals'): 2
