Video How-To: Fall Container Garden

Fall container gardens shine when you lean into rich color and bold texture. This arrangement starts with autumn-toned Rudbeckia, which brings strong structure and seasonal warmth. Dipped in Wine coleus adds deep, dramatic foliage and instant contrast. Super Bells ‘Dreamsicle’ pulls out the orange tones and keeps the look bright. Ornamental peppers finish the mix with texture and an extra pop of color.

All of these plants love sun and perform beautifully through late summer and fall. Because the season is shorter, you can plant more closely for a full look right away. Some plants even offer bonus value. Coleus can move indoors as a houseplant, and Rudbeckia can return to the landscape as a perennial.
