Flowering Kale

Play Up Texture:

Frost-tolerant flowering kale is a perfect choice for adding color and texture to late-season containers. Try a handful of varieties to create a bold look.

A. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Osaka White') -- 2

B. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Pigeon Purple') -- 1

C. Flowering kale (Brassica 'Redbor') -- 1

Better Homes and Gardens says: "Thank goodness for kale. It's one of the few plants available to add a fresh burst of color and life to the fall landscape! It's leaves come with beautiful variegations in pinks, purples, and reds that blend beautifully with changing autumn foliage. Plant it in spring or in the fall, after you tear out tired or frost-damaged annuals, such as marigolds and impatiens. It likes rich, well-drained but moist soil."

Fall Container Gardening Ideas

Lime and Chocolate

Bring autumn to porch or patio with the season's most stylish color combo: lime and chocolate.

Billowy burgundy Agonis, trailing lime-colored Grevillea, and curly plum heuchera in egg-shaped pots create a rustic vignette against a weathered wooden garage.
