Container Gardening: Taking Fall Landscaping To The Next Level

Containers offer a lot of opportunity when it comes to landscaping. Large display pots add color, texture and movement to decks and patios.

The fall weather with cooling temperatures and decreased amount of rainfall presents a great chance to incorporate more containers into your gardening and landscaping.

An account that Brentwood Landscape & Design follows on Facebook, Redeem Your Ground, recently published an informative article regarding fall container gardening. The article featured tips on how to utilize different containers and which plants go best with said containers. The article also included a Q&A with the container gardening guru herself – Helen Weis. It is a fantastic article and it can be found here.

The impressive potted centerpiece is Papyrus “King Tut.” This plant could offer more texture and height to any landscaping and it does well in a container.

it with anything from coral bells to violas to mini pumpkins.
