Fall Planting Combinations

17 years ago

Ok, so I got obsessed with thinking of some new planting combinations the other day. Problems is, I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY! So I thought I would suggest these and maybe someone else will get inspired.

For Halloween, I totally wish I could make this planter! I've seen some fantastic plants lately that would go so great together. Something would have to be on a rustic, twiggy little trellis. Maybe some white accent gourds. What do you guys think of some combination of these plants for a totally spooky Halloween planting?

Eyeball Plant

Bat-Faced Cuphea

Orange and Black Pansies

Dark Purple Potato Vine

Dark Purple Ornamental Pepper

Purple Millet

Juncus Grass

Asparagus Fern

I saw some awesome millet online at Simply Beautiful that begged to be used! Someone make this "firecracker" grouping!

Jade Princess Millet

Green Sweet Potato Vine

Variegated Ornamental Peppers

Lantana

Fizzy Pansy (These are frickin cool!)

Lastly, I had this vision of a gnarled, hooked branch rising up out of a container with a pale purple hummingbird or butterfly friendly vine on it. Below that would be the following, also butterfly attractors:

Salvia or Angelicus

Penta or Lantana

Trailing verbena

Juncus Grass

Climbing/trailing fig

Ok, thanks for listening to me rant, guys! What do you think?
