Quick, buy a blonde pumpkin like this one before they disappear from nurseries, grocery stores, and pumpkin patches. Use it as a centerpiece for a container as Lisa Bauchiero did in one of her container displays at Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach, California.
You could use any pumpkin, of course, but the blonde color of this pumpkin makes makes the container seem appropriate for a longer season. This combination of pumpkin, ornamental kale, dusty miller, the fishhook plant, and Deschampsia caespitosa 'Northern Lights' (or at least that's what I think that small, tawny grass is) has a 'wintery' look that will carry you through November, December, and into January.
