These combinations that mix evergreens, perennials and seasonal annuals are great for the late summer to early fall transition. Each combo contains elements that will survive a mild winter. When the cold of winter zaps the summer annuals, simply pop in a pansy or other cool season flower to replace the color. The result is an attractive, year round, low maintenance container.
