autumn Containers and planters Garden design ideas

Container Gardening All Year

Can your containers go from summer into fall without too much trouble?

You might want to swap out annuals that look too tired for some flowering kale or a small pot of chrysanthemums. Tuck in some gourds or a mini pumpkin like heirloom gardener did.

Here is an idea for an autumn season container with a link to the summer and winter containers for a front porch. How creative!

For the container by my front door, I’ve just replaced the summer display of elephant ears with kale, American bittersweet vine, bronze carex, and a miniature gourd. This arrangement will last until the winter containers in December.
