When we enjoy the beginning of a new season, it is a perfect time to switch our terraces, verands and decks to the autumn decor. A fresh, new look will really increase the ambience of our living space outdoors.
Since the heat of the summer to crack, cool evenings, the blue sky begins gray and hours with daylight, refreshed decor can give us an urgently needed thrust.
Autumn containers and hanging baskets are the most important ways to determine the sound for autumn magic. There are many ways to turn the look tired summer plantings into the promise of a new season. Ornamental grasses do their best performance at this time of year. Your flower flags give every container a touch of fun and mood. The rabbit cock pennis, such as the compact little rabbit, Burgundy rabbits and P. Hameln, are happy when their tiny feathers dance in the wind.
Little Bunny Pennisetum offers containers great interest without overwhelming other plants.
Many larger varieties of Miscanthus produce a number of one-to-meter flower heads that form beautiful screens, and they also fluctuate gently with the slightest air movement. I love the Morning Light variety with its colorful leaves and bronze flower heads. Another excellent variety is M. Fire Dragon, which has become popular due to its striking red autumn leaves and its contrasting light cream blossom.
Many panic rotates beautiful bronze or burgundy tones that adhere to their bright seed heads. The narrow, architectural grass Calamagrostis Karl Foerster looks impressed with its slim green stems and beige-colored seed heads. The Schizachyrium family is now also nice because the leaves become deep red with contrasting green seed heads. There are many other great grasses that give life and movement until well in autumn and winter.
Step mothers and violins are an excellent way to add fresh color to containers. With a few evergreen grasses such as the Evercolor Carex family, they will revive color well into winter and then in February with late winter color. The addition of evergreen euphorbias such as E. Wulfenii and E. Ascot Rainbow keeps the containers evergreen and with the promise of breathtaking chartreuse flowers at the end of February.
With Euphorbias in many colors you will surely find one that contracts your topic.
Don't forget to use the many unique colors evergreen Heucheras. From the deepest purple to rich peach and hot lime, these winter jewels play well with so many other winter flowers, and they have a significant influence if they are used in winter containers.
Flat pasture or wire -moos -frames are ideal for the production of customary baskets. With cool, follow-up wave pieces, Spillover Carex Evergreen grasses and colorful tracking Ivy create a very nice look. By adding some Muehlenbeckia (wire strein), lind colored crawl -Jenny and some spillover rich purple Heucheras as well as colorful, evergreen hingeblatt (Lonicera baggesens, their basket will look really amazing.
The annual summer containers can now be transformed into breathtaking autumn and winter pots. You need a little drama for the best displays and the larger the container, the more creative you can. I love using large, thin shrubs as anchor plants in containers. Large, narrow Hinoki cypresses, golden Irish yews, slim boxing wood wood like Graham Blandy and the vertical Holly gap of the vertical sky.
Hanging baskets with lush deciduous plants are not only easy to worry, but give your terrace a subtle sophistication.
Leucothoe Scarletta, Leucothoe Rainbow, Nandina (Heavenly Bamboo), which soon turns red, the slurry Osmanthus Goshiki, with its cream-colored leaves and compact pieris japonicas, which only rinse off their winter buds, everyone would be my first decision for accent plants. In order not to be overlooked, the families Heuchera and Heucherella would certainly add some sparks with their breathtaking colors, and a selection from the Evergreen Euphorbia family would also be a dramatic feature. Overflow of grasses always give an interesting look. My favorite is the hot Lime Carex Everillo. If you can penetrate a pyracantha with yellow, orange or red berries, this also offers color and a very unique look.
There are other BERRIED plants that work well to create a nice autumn atmosphere. Laubholly (ilex verticillata), if it is planted in a pot of large size, it will get up well every autumn and winter with lively color, although birds can take one or two snacks if they love the berries. Most varieties have now colored themselves and still look good while the leaves are switched on. After the leaves have dropped, massive berries in gold or red shadows have to be enjoyed all winter.
Accent with orange! Mix pumpkins and pumpkins around your planters to create a nice harvest.
If you have an additional room on your deck, add one or two pottedhaple for a dramatic autumn color. As soon as the leaves start to fall, they can be used as an excellent scaffolding for clear mini lights. Just as Japanese Maples of a terrace can add a structural element, containers from cut pastures can do the same in green, red or yellow. Anchored in the bottom of the pot, you can root through spring. We have three pots in front of our office, and you not only look great, they also offer space for their tiny branches so that Kolibris can rest.
The last touch for this seasonal repetition is to add some designer pumpkins, pumpkins and decorative pumpkin to the mix. You will really strengthen the entire autumn experience and you will enjoy many weeks if you enjoy outside the living rooms outside of outdoor habitats … until it is time for Christmas changes.
