Make an impactful seasonal statement with a Fall container garden grouping.

Try arranging three related pots in different sizes. The Seagrass Planters shown here are lightweight options made of liconfiber®. Set the largest pot in the back, with the medium pot to one side and the smallest in front between the other two. Then gather beautiful plants in Fall colors of oranges, reds, yellows, and purples. Find plants with different leaf textures, flower sizes, and shapes to create interest. You can follow the thriller, filler, and spiller recipe in each pot or pick a single plant in a size to fit each pot. The options are endless.

1. Shrimp Plant-This evergreen year-round bloomer is perfect for a fall arrangement. Its deep red blooms are hummingbird attractors too!
2. Petra Croton -With its multicolored leaves, this plant can say Fall by itself. It is a tropical plant, so bring it inside or cover it when it freezes. But the beautiful tropical look is well worth the effort.
3. Alternanthera little Ruby – A zone 9+perennial evergreen, or should we say “ever purple,” will give you rich color all year.
4. Marigold Bolero– These French marigolds fit the theme with splashes of yellow and red blooms.
5. Chrysanthemums – also known as mums- are iconic autumn plants. After using them in your fall displays, plant these in your garden. Mums are easy-to-grow perennials that can live for years and continue to bloom. 
6. Coleus Wicked Witch – This stunning annual with deep burgundy ruffled leaves bordered in chartreuse will add a fun fluffy texture to your combo.
7. Summer Sunset Asiatic Jasmine – Don’t forget ground covers when looking for a spiller. This Jasmine is perfect in these pots but even better as a rich variegated alternative to the common green Asiatic Jasmine.
8. Salvia Sally Fun– Add a touch of purple with this excellent pollinator-attracting perennial. They are heat and drought-tolerant as well as deer resistant.

Everybody loves a succulent pot! The combinations of colors, shapes, and textures are endless. What makes them even better is that they are low maintenance and can take our North Florida sun and heat! Be sure your pot is well-draining and the soil is not a water-retaining formula. Cactus and succulent soil would be best. Overwatering can cause these plants to rot. Then add some pea gravel and rocks to polish off the desert look.  

1. Aloe Vera makes an excellent centerpiece for your succulent pot, and when it blooms, it has striking red spikes that are sure to thrill. Break off a leaf and use the gell-like sap to ease sunburns and insect bites!
2. Sedum Lemon Coral The spikey chartreuse foliage looks like it would be thorny and prickly, but it is pretty soft and terrific as a spiller falling over the edge of containers. It loves heat and can tolerate dry soils.
3.  Portulaca Scarlet is a heat-lover and sun-worshipper. It is also drought-resistant, which makes it an excellent choice for late spring or summer. 
4. Sedum Blue Jelly Bean is a perfect filler spreading to 36″ wide. This succulent features thick, blue-green leaves resembling jelly beans with red tips.

The warm weather has arrived. Here is the perfect planter to soak up the heat! The mixture of warm tones and hot colors creates that tropical feel, and the copper-toned pot adds a touch of glamour. Of course, this combo would look fabulous in just about any container. Although this recipe uses full-sun plants, a little afternoon shade will help keep it blooming until the next frost.

1. Canna Lily’s large tropical leaves and tall, striking blooms thrill.

2. Bronze Coleus fills in with nice contrasting color and texture from the canna leaves.

3. Sunpatiens will fill and spill with bright blooms covering the plant.

4. Gold Lantana is a hardy heat-loving bloomer that will bring in the butterflies.

Design tip: If your planter is against a wall, place the canna lilies in the back. For a pot seen from all sides, plant in a centered format.
