What can I plant in pots in September?
Small plants of silver foliage subjects such as santolina, helichrysum and cineraria and variegated euonymus are all reliable favourites for autumn and winter pots. Woody herbs, especially thymes and sages, stay looking great through winter and you can pick off the odd sprig of foliage to use in the kitchen. 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).
