How to Design a Spooky Halloween Garden

The most haunting gardens play light against dark. Plant silvery artemisia or chartreuse elderberry next to dark shrubs like Black Lace® Elderberry or Little Devil™ Ninebark so each color stands out. Add red and orange accents with blood grass and Candy Corn® Spirea for classic Halloween warmth. Then finish the look with pumpkins, lanterns and dark mulch.

Spooky Houseplants

Bring the eerie look indoors with the patterned leaves of the Rattlesnake Plant. The hole-riddled foliage of Monstera Deliciosa and Monstera Adansonii Swiss Cheese Vine also fits the theme.
