Create a Fall Focal Point

Add a creative highlight to any outdoor area with these container garden ideas.

- LUKE MILLER

When summer starts to fade and cooler temperatures prevail, it’s time to jazz up your outdoor living space with fresh fall decor in a pot.

Rather than simply placing a potted plant by the doorway, use this season to unleash your inner artist and create a stunning fall vignette.

AUTUMN DISPLAY

For a wonderfully easy and quick container creation, try pairing up assorted mums and chartreuse sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas) to serve as the focal point. Then place squash, pumpkins and gourds around the container to complete the fall picture.
