BEAUTY AND FASHION
3. Celebrate the fall classic with mum companions
Mums have long been cherished as a hallmark of the fall season, blooming into their full, glorious colors when many other flowers begin to fade. Pairing them with plants that offer bold colors and interesting textures can enhance your fall garden and create a rich visual tapestry. Here are two great choices that can easily become your favorite mums' new BFFs:
Dahlia Venti™ PinkBurst - This special pink Dahlia variety features a unique anemone-like double-flower pattern that will beautifully complement your autumn display of mums, while also performing well in decorative containers.
Zinnia Elegant™ Hot Mixture - Easy-to-grow and pollinator-friendly, these Zinnias produce large double flowers in stunning color mixes that quickly become garden favorites. Their festive shades of orange, red and pink bring vibrant contrast alongside mums in both containers and landscapes.
No matter your gardening experience, make your autumn shine this year by embracing the season's warm colors and striking blooms. Discover more gardening resources and ideas at BallHort.com.
Transform your backyard and patio into an oasis for birds, bees and butterflies by choosing plants and flowers that attract pollinators. Explore these options to add both color and character to any outdoor space:
Lantana Shamrock™ Yellow - These lively and fragrant yellow clusters of flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, while also being deer resistant and drought tolerant. This is a great plant for containers and baskets thanks to its compact, well-kept growth habit.
Salvia Mystical - Available in striking blue or crisp white, these narrow-stalked blossoms will provide a beautiful contrast to warmer hues such as yellow, orange or red in your garden or containers. Their aromatic foliage and tubular flowers attracts pollinators including bees and butterflies, while resisting deer and rabbits.
Echinacea Sombrero® Mandarin Mambo - An upgrade to the traditional coneflower, this perennial offers bright orange flowers that change to a lovely peach color as they mature and provide lasting appeal for pollinators. Leave the spent seed heads to feed foraging birds in the fall.
