Fall Planting Magic
I love fall planting because there are so many beautiful plants that come into their own at this time of year.
Professional Fall Container
For me, the secret to a professional-looking fall container is to think about the plants as a whole rather than choosing individual varieties in isolation.
The Recipe
In this weekend's episode of Petals & Roots, I share my favorite plant recipe for a fall container that feels generous, layered and wonderfully seasonal.
Ingredients
I planted up a large terracotta pot from McGee & Co. or use wicker or concrete alternatives.
Plant Choices
I used coneflower 'pumpkin pie', peach sedum, magenta Beauty Ladies® Scarlet Scotch heather and trailing thyme for scent.
Ornamental Grass
I added Stipa tenuissima, Mexican feather grass, for fall texture and cascading effect.
What to Shop
Urn Planter Planter, Beauty Ladies® Lynn Scotch Heather, Expert Gardener Potting Mix available for fall container gardening.
The essence
Rachel Bull's fall container garden uses coneflowers, peach sedum, heather, thyme and ornamental grass for a seasonal display.
