Think Out-of-the-Box for Fall Containers in Warm Climates
While northerners are filling their fall containers with traditional mums and gourds, gardeners in warmer climates are gearing up to begin a whole new gardening season that lasts from fall through winter. Let’s take a look at four non-traditional container recipes for southern gardens that reflect the warm mood and rich textures of the season.
You can almost hear the fire crackling among the fiery red Superbells® calibrachoa and Sunsatia® Blood Orange™ nemesia in this striking recipe. The strappy red variegated leaves and purple plumes of Graceful Grasses® ‘Fireworks’ fountain grass give a celebratory wave as you pass by. Near-black, heart-shaped Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Jet Black™ foliage anchors the container and complements all the warm tones surrounding it. This container recipe would look right at home near a fire pit and would really pop against a dark background. Best grown in full sun.

Super simple yet fabulous, our flashy Mango recipe combines just two kinds of plants—ColorBlaze® Royale Apple Brandy® and ‘Fireworks’ fountain grass. This versatile coleus, which has performed spectacularly in full sun in Florida trials but also grows well in shade, complements the tall, variegated ‘Fireworks’ fountain grass in upright containers. Wouldn’t it be dazzling on your party deck this season? How about planting a matching pair to flank the front entrance of your home? This fabulous foliage matchup will go the distance from fall through winter. Best grown in part sun to sun.
