Our favorite plants for fall
Hooray! Fall is almost here! Time to start thinking, planning, scheming and dreaming about getting your front porch or storefront looking festive for the season.
So...what are our favorite thrillers, fillers and spillers for fall planters? Colorful crotons and ornamental grasses are our thrillers of choice. Next comes the fillers, which fill in around the middle of the planter. Our favorite fillers for fall are pansies, cabbage, kale and pumpkins. What? Pumpkins? You bet! Just pop some pie pumpkins or mini-pumpkins right into the pot. So festive! Lastly, comes the spiller, which cascades over the sides of the planter. Our go-to spiller for fall is bright green moneywort (aka creeping jenny).
In the picture above, we used a croton as the thriller. There are lots of fillers going on here – cabbage, small pumpkins and bittersweet stems. Moneywort finishes out the design as the spiller. Doesn’t it look festive for fall?
Faux Pumpkin Centerpieces
These pumpkin centerpieces make great teacher or hostess gifts! The small pansy filled faux pumpkin is $18 and the large flower filled faux pumpkin is $35. We're taking preorders now so give us a shout if we can pot some up for you this fall.
Succulent Pumpkins
Julie will be offering these succulent pumpkins in Kansas City this fall. The pumpkins and succulents will last for months as long as the succulents are misted with water on a weekly basis. Let us know if you'd like to preorder any. They make the cutest table decoration or hostess gift.
Let Adorn Help You
Who else, besides the Soil Sisters, is excited that fall will officially begin in less than one month? We. Can. Not. Wait.
We love a porch full of pumpkins, gourds, mums, crotons, hay bales, etc. to get the fall vibes going. Can you say instant gratification? It's the perfect seasonal decor to welcome your friends, family and customers to your front door.
We are happy to lend a hand with your fall exterior decorating. Please give us a shout if we can help bring the best of the season to your front porch or storefront.

Curb Appeal Shout Out!
WE LOVE ALEX and her fabulous store, The MakeUp Bar. This store has been THE place to buy make up and skin care products in OKC since 2001. They also offer a full array of aesthetic treatments (We can vouch for their amazing facials). If you need any beauty products for a male or female loved one … run don’t walk to The MakeUp Bar. Alex and her team will hook you up!
We’ve been digging in the dirt at The MakeUp Bar and Alex's home for 6 years. Alex says it best when asked about why she reached out to Adorn. "Oh Lordy, anybody who knows me, knows I can't keep a plastic plant from turning yellow. So when I saw an instagram post about Adorn, I immediately called and inquired! After talking to Elizabeth I felt like she really heard what I was saying and that I needed low maintenance. After she was done with my pots at home they looked so incredible I had her do the pots at The MakeUp Bar. I couldn't stop singing her praises and telling all my friends and clients about her. Adorn is a luxury and sometimes I have to really budget it in, but it is a treat that keeps on giving every time I walk in at home or at work! I will always use and recommend Adorn."
Awwww thank you Alex! We love you too!
