This group of beautiful front porch fall planter ideas will inspire you to decorate your front porch or entryway for the autumn season. Make some now and you'll be set until it's time to decorate for Christmas.
As the temperatures start to cool and the leaves begin to change color, it's time to start thinking about fall planters for your front porch.
Use Fall Colored Flowers and Plants
Coleus is a pretty annual that comes in many shades of yellow, orange, and red - perfect for creating a fall-themed planter. Pansies and asters are other great fall container plants to use.
For an elegant look decorate a large urn using the "thriller, filler and spiller" method. A trailing plant like a sweet potato vine or a creeping jenny with ornamental grasses and annuals in pretty purple hues would look gorgeous.
Also, consider planting some perennials in fall colors such as black-eyed Susan or coral bells. You can put them out just before the really cold weather and plant them in the garden.
Use Pumpkins and Gourd Accents
Pumpkins are a classic fall decoration, and they make great planters. Arrange a few pumpkins of different sizes and colors on your front porch, then fill them with fall flowers or foliage.
Consider filling large pumpkins with purple fountain grass, ornamental kale or cabbage, and ivy for a stunning display. Fall pumpkins are also great for decorating your walkway. Line several pumpkins along the pathway towards your front entry for a welcoming display.
Or for a more timeless look, fill your pumpkins or planters with pots of mums in shades of white, purple, and yellow.
You can even use faux pumpkins that can be displayed year after year!
