I was looking for a little Fall/Halloween inspiration for my empty pot. So on a whim, I ran out to my local garden center to see what I could pull together. It needs a week or so to fill in, but it's got the classic black, white and golden/orange Halloween color. It cost about $14 for the plants.(In case you're wondering, that's a Coleus in the background... Home Depot special, not sure which variety!)
Here's the recipe:
24" pot
1 - 1 qt. mum, golden colored
1 - 4" Sweet Potato Vine, 'Blackie' (Ipomoea)
1 - six-pack Viola, 'Coconut'
The plants shown here do well in Sun to Part Shade and are considered winter annuals. The most tender of the bunch is the Ipomoea, which may fail in temperatures below 30 degrees.
