Using gift bags for vases is an easy way to make an arrangement without the expense of an expensive vase. I put a simple glass jar inside the bag for an instant vase.
The three flowers used in the arrangement were the lacy white spider mums, golden yellow State Fair zinnias, and the lovely, fall-blooming Monkshood.
I've talked about the zinnias and mums recently, but not the Monkshood. Monkshood is a fall blooming perennial. It is tall, so should be at the back of the bed. It spreads by rhizomes, and increase well. It needs moist, but not wet, soil, and should be grown in shade to part-shade for best results.
