Colorful Fall Containers to Welcome the Season

When the seasons change, so does the personality of your landscape. But you don’t need to redo your entire yard to enjoy fresh color and style—container plants make it easy to bring fall flair right to your doorstep. Whether it’s a welcoming arrangement by the front entry, a splash of color on the patio, or a festive accent for community spaces, containers are the perfect way to celebrate the season.

One of the best things about containers is their flexibility. They can be updated with the seasons, moved around as you like, and designed to fit spaces of any size. If you’re short on time, they also offer instant impact—you’ll see beautiful results as soon as the plants are set in place.

Designing a stunning fall container comes down to balance. We love the “Thriller, Filler, Spiller” method: add something tall for drama, fill in with medium-height blooms, and finish with a trailing plant that softens the edges. For autumn, think warm hues and rich textures. Ornamental grasses or small evergreens make great “thrillers,” while colorful mums, asters, or pansies can provide the fillers. Trailing ivy or creeping jenny makes a perfect spiller to tie the look together. Don’t forget about ornamental kale and cabbage for extra seasonal texture.

At Egan Wholesale Group Nursery, we carry a wide variety of plants that are perfect for fall containers. Mums, asters, sedums, ornamental kale, and small evergreens are just a few of the options you’ll find in stock. Whether you want to create your own mix or grab a few ready-to-go favorites, we’ll help you choose plants that bring color and interest to your containers all season long.

Caring for fall containers is simple, too. Keep an eye on watering—even as the temperatures cool, containers can dry out more quickly than garden beds. Make sure your pots have good drainage, and give plants a light boost of fertilizer to keep them looking their best.

Ready to dress up your entryway, patio, or porch for fall? Stop by Egan Wholesale Group to explore our seasonal container plants and nursery selections. And if you’d prefer a custom arrangement designed and installed for you, our team at Egan Landscape Group can help create container displays that bring warmth, color, and personality to your outdoor spaces.

Your fall curb appeal starts with a container—simple, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

Choosing the Right Container for Your Space

When it comes to container gardening, you’re not limited to just pots. Homeowners have plenty of options, and we can help you create the perfect setup for your needs.

  • Traditional Containers
    Looking for a quick and flexible way to decorate? Stop by our nursery and pick up everything you need in one place—containers, planting mix, and seasonal plants. Whether you prefer classic clay pots, sleek modern planters, or rustic wooden boxes, we’ll help you select the right size and style to match your home.

  • Custom Raised Plant Beds
    For a more permanent option, our landscaping team can design and install raised planting beds right into your yard. These act like oversized containers, offering all the benefits of container gardening but with the structure and longevity of a built-in feature. Raised beds are a fantastic way to showcase seasonal color, highlight the front of your home, or add curb appeal along a driveway, walkway, or yard.

Both options let you enjoy the fun and beauty of container planting—whether you want the flexibility of portable planters or the lasting impact of custom-built raised beds.
