Candy Corn Fall Collection

Product Details

The plants in this fall collection were chosen because they take autumn’s cooler temperatures in stride. They will add seasonal color and texture to your outdoor spaces until a hard frost.

Multi-layered and brightly colored, our Candy Corn Fall Collection is a lot like America’s popular harvest-time treat. Adding verticality to the mix, a variety of Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum) has foliage that starts out blue-green and shifts later in the season to a gorgeous wine red. Filling in the middle level are cute, buttery yellow flower spikes of Solidago Little Lemon®, while Heuchera ‘Peach Flambe’ exhibits vibrant leaves that transition from peachy yellow to red to plum as the weather cools. The blue-purple petals of Violas, tinged with lemon and orange, make a contrasting pop. At the base of the display, the tri-colored ground cover Ajuga Feathered Friends® ‘Parrot Paradise,’ in shades of red, orange, and yellow, adds even more drama to this grouping of perennials.

Some plants require more space in container gardens than others. To accommodate the 5 plants in this collection, we recommend a container at least 16″ in diameter and 12″ deep.

This collection is shown in our medium Modella Tall Lightweight Container, which is sold separately. Click 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 Panicum , Ajuga, Solidago, Viola, and Heuchera are perennials and they can be planted in the ground. In mild-winter climates (Zone 8 and warmer), these plants can be left outdoors in containers.
