Fall containers offers opportunities for two very different sets of gardeners. For one group, fall containers can be an Act 2 (or even Act 3) in home decor. The change of seasons is a chance to switch out light-colored summery plant palettes with hues appropriate for cooler, shorter days and the upcoming ghoul-and-goblin holidays. For other gardeners, fall is more of a “redo” than an Act 2. Perhaps their gardens suffered through summer droughts, pesky pests, and hungry marauding mammals. After throwing up their hands in surrender and taking a break for a few weeks, fall is an opportunity to clear the decks and start again.
No matter the group you find yourself in, rest assured you have plenty of plant options to either start anew or casually integrate into existing container plantings. Using both annuals and perennials—and even some fancy foliage—your fall container décor can work its magic until the winter holidays.
We were thrilled to be featured in a recent article by Organic Mechanics Soil about what our best recommendations for Fall Containers are.
