Featured Plant
Geranium Pelargonium x Red, white, violet and pink. Geraniums come in an array of gorgeous colors. They are great for brightening up your landscape through the cool season, and if you find a nice well-drained spot, geraniums can even be last all year long. They also add bold color to fall porch pots or hanging planters. |

Fall Container
Gardening
First,
you want a Thriller. This is the focal piece for the container
garden and it is usually a taller plant. A colorful croton, or a
wispy grass makes a great centerpiece.
Second,
select the Fillers. These are plants or flowers that take up the
middle height of the container and make the garden full. Try an assortment of
winter annuals for beautiful, seasonal color.

Lastly,
choose a spiller. This is a plant or plants that cascade down the
front or sides of your container and add an extra dimension. Some of
our favorite spillers are wire vine or creeping jenny.
To plant the
garden, start by filling your container two-thirds full with Kerby's Planting Soil. Now arrange the plants on top of the soil
until they look just right. Fill in the spaces between plants with
soil and add 14-14-14
control-release fertilizer. Make sure that you remove any air
pockets by pressing down on the soil. Water in well.
![]() Container gardens have endless possibilities. Create simple, easy themed gardens by choosing plants of the same color or with a particular theme. Why not create a pizza garden, with bright red geraniums, oregano, basil and a tomato plant or a Jurassic garden with ferns, ivy and torenias. Let your imagination go wild, but always try to contain yourself!
