IDEA #1: PURPLE CONTAINER GARDEN
For a harvest purple look, start planting your fall container garden with Rockin’® Blue Suede Shoes™ Salvia. It is drought tolerant and beloved by many pollinators. You will love this long blooming and tough plant too. This easy-to-grow Salvia is a great choice for new gardeners.
Next, surround the dynamic Salvia with a mixture of blooms like Superbells® Plum Calibrachoa and Supertunia® Bordeaux™ Petunias. Superbells® Plum Calibrachoa is an abundant, small petunia-like bloom. It flowers all season with cascading growth. It prefers partial to full sunlight throughout the day and is heat tolerant. Calibrachoas are the perfect choice for your fall container gardens.
Supertunia® Bordeaux™ Petunias are heat tolerant, low-maintenance plants. These gorgeous petunias are drought tolerant and can function as both a filler and a spiller in container gardens.
IDEA #2: ORANGE & YELLOW CONTAINER GARDEN
Bring home the hues of autumn and create an orange and yellow container garden. This fall container garden design is adorned by beautiful blooms and lush foliage. Start your container garden pot with a focal plant like Golden Butterfly® Marguerite Daisies. It is heat tolerant and long blooming, plus this variety can flower continuously without deadheading.
Complete your container garden by surrounding the Golden Butterfly® Marguerite Daisy with a mixture of Calibrachoas. Try Superbells® Tangerine Punch™ Calibrachoa and Superbells® Dreamsicle® Calibrachoa!
Pair with pumpkins for the perfect fall display!
IDEA #3: PINK CONTAINER GARDEN
Fall is prettier with pink! Try this container garden idea for a lovely balance of bright colors and green foliage. Start with Graceful Grasses® Prince Tut™ Cyperus! This unique plant contains large poms that create an interesting fan-like shape. It is a compact form of the Egyptian Papyrus Cyperus and a shorter variety, making it an ideal choice for your fall container garden.
Add some visual texture with the Hippo® Red Polka Dot Plant. The gorgeous foliage is dark green with red speckles. It is heat tolerant and easy to care for.
Complete your container garden design with pretty pink blooms like Supertunia Vista® Bubblegum® Petunia. Supertunia Vista Petunias are known as the best Petunias around.
