As August draws to a close, the subtle shifts in the breeze remind us that fall is just around the corner, and that means cozy home projects! This week on our blog, we’re taking a look at three perfect porch makeovers full of fall inspiration, which begs the question…
When is it time to refresh the porch planters?
- Your summer annuals are looking faded: If your summer annuals are spent, consider replacing the contents of those porch planters with a reblooming evergreen shrub that offers flowers and foliage season after season. Dwarf Encore® Azalea varieties are ideal for containers with their compact size.
- Your greenery is overgrown: When your planters are starting to look a bit wild, a trim or a swap-out for a shrub with compact, evergreen foliage can bring back a tidy, polished look. Try Autumn Amethyst® or Autumn Fire®, which both offer vibrant, color-shifting foliage hues in winter.
- The pumpkins are calling your name: If you’ve got buffalo check, cute haybales, and pretty pumpkins on the mind, then it’s time to pick blooms that reflect the hues of the season! Autumn Embers® and Autumn Bonfire® are ablaze with color in the fall, showering your porch planters with ruby-red blooms.
