Ghoulish Pairing

Pair pale and bright colored pumpkins with purple pixie or purple diamond loropetalum for a ghoulish look.

Spooky Garden Witch

Keep it simple for children. Use a 17" terra cotta pot, Purple Pixie lorapetalum for the hair and sedum for the face. Plant the loropetalum towards the back and sedum in the front. Place a barbecue skewer in the center and add a witch’s hat. After Halloween, parents can plant both sedum and pixie loropetalum in their landscape.

Planting Time

Help young children tuck plants in place. This container garden is perfect for a sunny porch.

Snip and Clip

Accent your branches in floral arrangements with mini tera cotta jack-o-lanterns filled with clipped pixie or diamond loropetalum.

Watering Hands

Freeze rubber or latex gloves filled with water to decorate a bucket filled with drinks. You could also place them in pots as a fun way to water your ghoulish garden witch.

Finishing Touch

Combine a container garden filled with Purple Pixie or Purple Diamond loropetalum, curly willow branches and heirloom pumpkins to anchor your tablescape. Elevate on top of large logs. After the party, these are perfect next to your front door.

Halloween Ready

Guests leave with ghoulish gardens in hand.
