Fall Designs
Fresh for Fall
For fall, I love utilizing shrubs or evergreens as a focal point or base. You can achieve size, texture, and colors that can be hard to achieve with annuals alone. Shrubs can provide a backdrop for smaller, fine-textured plants, which also can help balance the visual weight of a container. With perennials you can also add an unexpected “wow” factor with pops of color and depth. There is a variety of options in frost-tolerant annuals to combine for interesting colors and textures.
