Blue Notes Fall Container Garden

Large golden Marigolds warm a palette of blues and purples in our exclusive Blue Notes Fall Container Garden. Adding rich shades of contrasting color are the small flowers of a blue-flowering Lobelia and the multitudinous, star-shaped, purple blossoms of an Aster. An Ornamental Kale with curly, ruffled, arching leaves in blue-green with purple stems provides vertical structure and a perfect backdrop for all the colorful blooms. 5 plants total, quantities of each variety listed below. Container not included.

• 1 Lobelia Heatopia™ Dark Blue
• 1 Symphyotrichum 'Wood's Blue' (Aster)
• 2 Tagetes patula Durango® Yellow (Marigold)
• 1 Kale 'Redbor'

Some plants require more space in container gardens than others. To accommodate the 5 plants in this collection, we recommend a container at least 14" in diameter and 12" deep.

This container garden is shown in our Milano Octagon Planter, which is sold separately. Click here to order.

If you choose to overwinter your plants, they will need a little special treatment. Although we can’t guarantee your plants’ successful return next year, here are our best recommendations.

In climates where winter temperatures drop well below freezing, containers should be dismantled in late fall. The Symphyotrichum is a perennial and can be planted in the ground. Simply discard the Lobelia, Tagetes, and the Kale which are annuals and will not survive in areas below 20°F. In mild-winter climates (Zone 8 and warmer), these plants can be left outdoors in containers.
