Ready for fall
Have a combo that needs refreshing? It’s easy to change up the look of any planting! Using a soil knife, scoop out the plants you’d like to switch. You can wedge in new additions or even pull aside stems and set in a nursery pot, for extra height, like we did with a container of grass.
Click and drag the photo to watch this tired, midsummer combo transform! Then, click ahead to find out which plants got this container ready for fall.
