Fall Container Recipe – Simple & Stunning

As the temps cool and the leaves start to turn, fall container gardens bring warmth and color to your doorstep.

fall container recipe

As the temps cool and the leaves start to turn, fall container gardens bring warmth and color to your doorstep. This design is proof that simple can be beautiful.

Our Fall Container Recipe features three seasonal favorites—repeated in containers or window boxes for a cohesive, high-impact look.

Here’s what you need:

  • Garden Mum (Red, Pink or Purple): The classic fall bloomer—vibrant, full, and festive.
  • Kale (4”): Adds frosted texture and a unique shape to your mix.
  • Heather Calluna (Pink): Soft pink blooms and evergreen structure make this one a fall staple.

This combination thrives in cooler weather and looks just as good by Halloween as it does at the start of September. Just give it bright light and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Repeat this combo in planters and window boxes for an instantly cozy and coordinated look.
