Designing Your Fall Flower Pot Arrangements
Switch out your seasonal decor when the temperatures drop. Annuals add vibrant color until frost, so combine them with some of best fall flowers for pots to keep the show going. Use plants with the same basic needs for water and sunlight; shade-lovers, for example, won't survive in full sun. Choose perennials recommended for your USDA Gardening Zone or, if your potted perennials overwinter outside, two zones higher.

As summer bows out, fall wildflowers take center stage in brilliant colors like purple, yellow and orange. Black-eyed Susans, coneflowers and other autumn flowers are the stars of gardens, roadsides and meadows.
Even when summer blooms disappear, the flower show isn’t over. Fall wildflowers take their place, popping up on roadsides and in forests, fields and gardens. If you're not already growing them, planting wildflower seeds in fall will pay off in beautiful blooms next year.

Instead of try...

I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t put a $10 plant in a ten-cent hole, and it's true. Even the best plant can't thrive in a hole that isn’t big enough for its root system. Roots need water, nutrients and oxygen. When the roots have filled up the original hole, they'll stretch out into the surrounding soil, but if that soil is too hard to penetrate, the roots will grow around each other in snarls and tangles. At best, the plant keeps growing, but it’s stunted. At worst, it dies.
