Plants: Japanese silver grass 'Gold Bar' (Miscanthus sinensis), Chrysanthemum morifolium.
These containers will be viewed only from one side, that is why the plants are arranged this way. Some space is left for mums to grow. I like the big red containers themselves and try to choose the plants which won't overwhelm them.

We are still enjoying our warm dry September. There are not many obvious signs of fall in my garden yet.

Very nice indeed. I have a new blog http://hundredsofideas.wordpress.com I will be shutting down morefamilyandflowers, I hope you will continue to visit.
ReplyDeleteI love the planting combination Tatyana They look so great in your red containers. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love your combination of mums and that grass in the red pots. So glad we got a little taste of summer, even if it was in September this year!
ReplyDeleteЗамечательные работы. Очень понравились, правда.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty ~ love the Silver Grass..very pretty addition!
ReplyDeleteYou planted some great containers, Tatyana! I love the white mums and the combination with the unusual grass is quite interesting. In my garden I don't have too many plants growing in containers, because they are so hard to keep alive during the summer heat. But now is a good time to get some containers started for the fall. Thanks for reminding me!

I am a little bit jalouse of the weather in the country you live in.
ReplyDeleteIn Holland we had a beautiful spring but somebody has forgotten to bring the summerseason and now we are already in fall.
I love your compositions in the containers.

Thank you, my friends!
ReplyDeleteI like this combination. But, now when I look at the pictures, I think that three mums per container would be better than two. Although, the current arrangements look good from the house and the porch.
Lovely. I love the white mums. I never thought of planting mums in plantings in containers like that.
ReplyDeleteI like the white blooms against the red container. And the grass is a touch of the unexpected. You are way ahead of me - I haven't started thinking of fall blooms yet!
ReplyDeleteI really like the white mums with the zebra grass and the red container.

Such a pretty combination with the red containers! I love how they look on the patio next to that birdbath, too!
ReplyDeleteNice choices for a gorgeous container. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - starting to feel like Autumn here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful containers Tatyana. I love the birdbath. Thank you for your kind words of support! One of the things I miss about not being able to blog as much is coming to visit you more often. I hope to be up to it all again in the near future. Your photography is so beautiful you even manage to make a giant slug look handsome.
ReplyDeleteLove the bold red container...and the beautiful white mums and miscanthus are a great combo.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful combinations Tatyana! But i am awed at the design of that variegated plant looking like grown grasses. The variegations look like they have either some nutrient deficiency or attacked by some pests. I love it, do you have its ID? thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, the name of the grass is in the post - Miscanthus sinensis.
Beautiful fall plantings, the white mums are stunning against the planters and the grass. What an eye you have for this.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and serene, thank you for sharing your plantings
ReplyDeleteI love the combination as well. They set off the red of the pot so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNow you've motivated me to see about planting our autumn pots... My only hesitation is that I just don't want to admit that fall is here and winter will soon follow!
Gorgeous combos!! I love big ceramic containers like yours but have a tendency to break them. I need pots that bounce! :o)
ReplyDeleteThose are great pots and your choice of plants goes well with it. Love the white with that deep red.
