Planting a fall container is a fantastic way to bring seasonal cheer to your outdoor space, whether that's your front porch or backyard patio. Late-summer flowers can still look beautiful at this time of year, but choosing tougher plants will give longevity to your display, seeing you into the winter months.
There are plenty of foliage plants that bring interesting colors, textures and forms to fall planters, and will withstand cooler weather as the season shifts. And while winter-flowering plants, such as hellebores, won't be in their prime quite yet, planting them now will help them settle in before temperatures drop and give you a gorgeous show later on.
