Colorful Vines and Groundcovers for the Fall Garden

September 15, 2018

Create a colorful and fragrant fall finale in your garden with groundcovers and vines. Blanket the earth with hardy groundcovers that add seasonal interest. Then direct your eye skyward with vines climbing on trellises, fences, and arbors.

Make sure you use plants that fit the site

By the next growing season, they are better established and can tolerate the hot, dry conditions of the summer.
