What can I plant in pots in October?
There are even herbaceous perennials that will look great in containers in autumn and winter – either from their foliage or their autumnal flowers. Go for the following: Heuchera, Hylotelephium (sedums), Japanese anemones, Liriope muscari, Persicaria (red bistort) and Symphyotrichum (asters, Michaelmas daisies). What are the best winter plants for pots? Perennials like lavender, evergreen shrubs like boxwood, hardy Christmas ferns, and cold-tolerant flowers like pansies are all great options for winter container gardening.
