Your choice of thriller, filler and spiller plants
In our autumn container, we’ve picked Chrysanthemum as the thriller plant due to its bright long-lasting flowers. For the filler plant we choose Calluna, which is our September plant of the month. Calluna offers a variety of colour that also lasts long into the season. Finally, for the spiller, we used 4 Chili Pepper Santos Orange plants to make a spicy statement!
