12in Fall Combo, Kale Centerpiece

A 12-inch fall planter built around an upright kale centerpiece — blue-green, deeply textured leaves that stand tall above the pot and only get better as the nights turn cold.

Planted around the base: ornamental peppers ripening red, orange and yellow, and viola for a little brightness down low.

One pot finishes a porch step on its own. And unlike mums, this one is still doing its job in November.

Pickup at Fall Fun Fest. Order online and pick it up at the market starting Saturday, September 26. You never need a ticket to come get your plants — the market and garden center are open to everyone, 9 to 6.

12-inch pot. Planted here at Reston Farm Garden Market.
