The warmer temperatures are waning, but your love of gardening doesn't have to follow suit.  This is the time of year to bring in some rich, bold colors to add some warmth to your home or yard.  I love autumn gardening - it's not too hot or too cold.  I can spend the entire day gardening. 

Mums
Mums are inexpensive and the larger sizes can help fill out a container garden.

Ornamental Peppers
Ornamental Peppers come in a variety of colors and can add a quick and unexpected burst of color to any garden. 

Ornamental Grasses
Pink Pampas is by far my favorite ornamental grass.  Some varieties of ornamental grasses can be invasive, so be very cautious.  Keep them contained to the planter only.
