If you are passionate about flowers, plant fall-colored plants into your planter. Fall is the best time to add color to your yard. Hanging baskets made with vibrant perennials and annuals are a good option. The tops and leaves of your plants will pop out of the window frame giving your planter an inviting, cozy look. Use yellow garden pansies, radiant marigolds, and baby kale to add a pop of color to your planter.
You can make a Fall Planter Window Box by following the same steps. Fill the container with a variety of fall-themed flowers. A stunning fall window box can be made with foliage, filler and corn stalks. Ornamental grasses are often discounted during fall and can often be purchased on clearance. To give the container height, use taller plants at the back. You can also add branches and berries for texture.
Hanging baskets can be heavy so fill it with a plastic bottle. If you do not have an empty hanging basket, use a ceramic planter instead. Add ornamental kale or cabbage to create a contrast with the purple vegetables. Ornamental kale and cabbage are also good choices. A meadow planter can also be used to start a garden. Don't forget to search for perennials during the fall.
Plan your fall planter according to the season in which you will add color. You can fill your fall planter with everything, including marigolds and petunias. A planter can also be filled with ornamental plants and tall grasses, or it can be covered with dried leaves and flowers. There are so many ways to make your home look fall-themed, regardless of what season. You can even experiment with it!
Your planter's foliage will begin to wilt and drop when it gets cold enough. You may need to add a few more plants to the container to get the desired effect. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, the time it takes to see the results will be longer. The best way to extend the growing season is to use a fall planter. This will ensure your plants have a home in your garden till the ground freezes.
Whether you are using a large container or a small container, fall container gardening is the perfect time to experiment with different colors, textures, and flowering plants. Try mixing annuals and perennials and try mixing and matching textures. You can change the look of an area by grouping containers. This is especially useful if your favorite fall plants begin to fade.
