Fall Container Plant Ideas

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 1:13 pm

Fall color schemes usually include vibrant oranges, deep golds and rich reds. Mums are always the usual standby, however carex grasses, pansies, ornamental kales, snapdragons, heuchera (Coral Bells) and veggies such as beets and Swiss chard make great Fall containers.

What outside temps are best for swiss chard?

Find that it does well in full sun but also good when you have morning sun and part shade. It slows down in very hot weather and seems to like a cooler climate. It will continue over winter in some area, however, if you have frost, cover and protect with mulch. Hope this helps!
