Halloween has become the second most popular occasion for decorating, right behind the winter holidays. Last year, we gave you some ideas for decorating with plants for Halloween. Here are a few more ideas for this year.- Pansies are one of the most popular Halloween plants, as some varieties can withstand lower temperatures, and they come in a variety of colors. They can be found in shades of purple, black and orange.
- Chrysanthemums are another ideal Halloween flower, as they are quite hardy, and also come in a variety of colors. Having mums of oranges, yellows, bronze, and cream are perfect for evoking cozy autumn feelings.
- Calla lilies, and other assorted flowers which are often associated with funerals, are another option.
- Pumpkins are an obvious good selection for Halloween. They come in a variety of sizes, and can be used in many different ways. A good alternative are gourds, which are in the same family as pumpkins. Many gourds are twisted and have warts, creating a “scary” appearance. They can be placed in gardens or trees, and on tables and porches.
To add some Halloween flair to your plants, try placing them in a hollowed out pumpkin, or a cauldron shaped pot. Berries, spiky plants, and dark foliage can be used as accent pieces.
Do you have a few plants around that are looking sickly? Now is the time to display them! Adding fake spider webs or placing them near a black light can create quite a spooky appearance.
