Yellow and Gold Autumn Container

Ornamental peppers, a spiky grass and golden chrysanthemums give this container an autumn glow. It's a great combination to make the transition from summer to fall.

Materials

• 1 14-inch container (here's a choice on our facebook page)
• 1 6-inch pot fountain grass 'Dwarf Hameln'
• 6-pack white violas
• 1 6-inch pot gold chrysanthemums
• 1 6-inch pot ornamental peppers
• 1 4-inch pot dwarf yellow dahlias

Good to Know

At the end of summer don't toss out all the plants in your containers. Cut back leggy annuals and "spot replace" plants that are too weary to revive. You can fill empty holes with plants from this list of fall favorites.
