Spicy Kale Fall Collection

Product Details

The plants in this fall collection were chosen because they take autumn’s cooler temperatures in stride. They will add seasonal color and texture to your outdoor spaces until a hard frost.

This container collection looks good enough to eat! And while each item is indeed edible – from leafy Kale and zesty Peppers to the colorful petals of Marigolds and Violets – we especially recommend our Spicy Kale Fall Collection as a feast for the eyes. Fiery tones of Ornamental Pepper ‘Purple Shades’ and Tagetes patula Durango® Red, a French Marigold with large russet blossoms, appear even warmer alongside the icy blue blooms of Violets (Viola cornuta Sorbet® XP True Blue) and the blue-green, purple-tinged leaves of Ornamental Kale Kamome™ Red (which intensifies in color as the weather cools). Our recipe not only includes contrasting colors but interesting textures, as well. The rough, curly Kale foliage makes a perfect backdrop to show off the sleek, shiny fruits of the Ornamental Pepper. Savor this scrumptious-looking collection from late summer to frost.

• 1 Ornamental Kale Kamome™ Red

Some plants require more space in container gardens than others. To accommodate the 4 plants in this collection, we recommend a container at least 12″ in diameter and 12″ deep.

This collection is shown in our natural Albani Urn, which is sold separately. Click to order.

If you choose to overwinter your plants, they will need a little special treatment. Although we can’t guarantee your plants’ successful return next year, here are our best recommendations.

In climates where winter temperatures drop well below freezing, containers should be dismantled in late fall. The Viola is a perennial and can be planted in the ground. Simply discard the other annual plants that will not survive in areas below 20°F. In mild-winter climates (Zone 8 and warmer), these plants can be left outdoors in containers.
