Conga calibrachoa, celosia, Dart and Jolt dianthus, Pigeon cabbage, Little Lucky lantana, ornamental peppers, and Toto rudbeckia.
Finished 6-inch pots that bridge summer into hard winter: color for the pumpkin display, frost-tough bloom that carries past the mums, and heads and fruit that only get better as the nights turn cold.
Conga calibrachoa takes frost clear to Christmas. Celosia stands up in fire reds and deep purple through the decor season. Dart and Jolt dianthus take hard freezes and bloom again in spring. Pigeon cabbage deepens its center color with the cold. Little Lucky lantana and Toto rudbeckia run color to frost, and the Autumn Select peppers hold fruit above the leaf for weeks. SuperCal petchoa and Speedy Sonnet snapdragons round out the 6-inch bench on their own pages.

The bridge from summer to hard winter. Conga fills the color gap between the mums and the pansies and keeps flowering as the nights turn cold. Takes frost clear to Christmas, mounding habit with a trailing finish, full sun, low maintenance.





Transitional color to decorate with your pumpkins. Celosia stands up in fire reds, oranges, and deep purple, holds its color on the plant, and takes the heat right through the fall decor season. Full sun, plant late summer into fall.







Dart is the hardy one. It takes hard freezes in the bed or the pot, and it comes back blooming in spring. Ball-shaped flower heads on strong stems with a dark green leaf, full sun to part sun, plant fall or early spring.




The tall dianthus for fall. Jolt stands a good knee high in the bed, plants in the September heat, and comes through hard freezes still standing. Softball bloom heads on strong stems, 16 to 20 inches tall, the most heat tolerant dianthus.




Pigeon carries a tight, flat rosette on a short stem, and the center color comes on stronger as the nights turn cold. One head fills a 6-inch pot and carries the porch from October into spring. Heads size up evenly, so a bench of Pigeon finishes together.




Little Lucky stays low and tight, and it keeps pushing color through the hottest weeks of the summer. Compact, mounded habit, color from spring to frost, self-cleaning blooms, and butterflies all day. Full sun.




Peppers put fruit color on the fall bench. The fruit stands above the leaf and holds on the plant for weeks in full sun. Seven colors and habits, 8 to 20 inches, planted for late summer and finished in a 6-inch pot.







Toto is the dwarf black-eyed Susan. It holds a tight, branching plant in a 6-inch pot and flowers from summer right through to frost. Full-size bloom on a short plant, 8 to 10 inches tall, sturdy stems with no staking, and pollinators find it fast.
