Planting up practical autumn pots is about more than texture and color....our palette of plants is limited by what really can hold up through the worst winter has to offer. When I was out and about in Bellevue recently I found some great examples of pretty pots planted with tough stalwarts that will (mostly) endure freezes, wind and rain....take a look....
All the pots, including the planted pumpkin shells, are on display at Wells-Medina nursery, except for the last one. I was impressed by how creative the designer has been despite a limited range of plants... kale, euphorbia, rainbow chard, autumn fern, carex, heuchera, winter pansies.....all tough "good-doers" that are widely available and easy to care for.
This huge terra cotta bowl is one of many at the new upscale Bravern shopping center; it holds heuchera, grasses, ajuga, mosses and a few pansies....
