Keep that in mind as your browse the plant aisles looking for your favorite color combos. Ornamental Cabbage Echinacea For a large size container, don’t be afraid to stuff in a few different thrillers. To keep the combination pollinator-friendly, we used Echinacea as a bright focal point. These bright blooms will last until frost and can be transferred into a garden bed when they outgrow the container. They provide great height, color, and drama. Nothing says fall like ornamental cabbage and kale! Their intricate texture and seasonal color add a beautiful contrast in foliage. These can grow leggy towards the end of the season, so be sure to add lots of fillers to reduce any unwanted gaps.
