Fall is in the air, as the weather cools and days shorten. Container gardens, whether filled with yellow mums, airy grasses or tiny orange pumpkins, offer a perfect taste of autumn. We’d love to see photos of your container garden ready for the season. Upload your best shot in the Comments below, and tell us about what’s going on in your garden now. Your photo could be featured in an upcoming story on Houzz.
Do You Showcase Seasonal Flowers?
This front porch by Bret Franks Construction in Little Rock, Arkansas, shows off a festive display of potted mums in a range of seasonal colors. Mums (botanical name Chrysanthemum) can give any garden a boost this time of year, with colorful bedding mums or garden mums being the best choice for containers.
Your turn: What seasonal flowers have you incorporated into your potted arrangements? Please share a photo in the Comments.

Are There Special Seasonal Flourishes?
Gourds and pumpkins mix with fall-hued ornamental cabbage, carex and crotons in this elegant arrangement by Peter Atkins and Associates outside a Connecticut home. If your potted display is feeling a little sparse — or lacking some seasonal flair — tucking in a pumpkin, cut stems or bare branches can be a great way to enhance your containers for the fall.

This is my fall container on the Oregon Coast - for height there's Kangaroo Paw and Pheasant's Tail grass, then Heuchera "Sweet Tea" and "Forever Purple", then Calluna "Barcelona" and for a trailing element, it's Vinca "Illumination". Fits a sunny location, which can be rare in a coastal fall, but I love the moody colors and movement in the sea breeze.
This doesn't include a container but it's my favourite part of my little garden in autumn... The fig tree's leaves are turning to yellow, at the back the narcissi have started to grow and it's the last days of these lovely pink flowers that I don't know their name in English but in Persian we call them : gol-e- naaz , which means: so beautiful flower
