Scatter Cushions: Comfort and Style in your Outdoor Living Space
SOLEX 2023: Grace’s Blog
The perfect space to grow trees, plants, herbs and blooms, a metal planter is a great low-maintenance way to add some colour to your garden or patio. Metal planters are also fantastic for raising the bed of your garden and can make gardening much more accessible to people of all levels of experience.
We’ve put together this helpful guide to help you make the right choice for summer planting.
Selecting Plants
When buying a metal planter, the first thing to consider is what you plan to plant and where you plan to plant them. As much as we focus on the plant above ground, considering the root system below is just as important. Depending on what you’re growing, varying levels of soil depth are required. A deeper planter is best for larger trees and shrubs, accommodating larger root systems and more water. On the contrary, a shallower planter may be better suited for herbs and other bedding plants that require less water and space.
Available in nine different sizes, our metal planter accommodates a range of plants and trees. Moreover, our metal planter can be stacked, allowing for a combination of small and large plants, all within the same unique display.
Durability
When gardening, plants are not the only consideration. As important as the plants are, ensuring the metal planter they live in are durable and stand up to the weather is essential. With planters, several material options are available. None, however, are as durable as metal. Our galvanised steel, powder-coated metal planter is made using only the highest quality materials, designed to withstand whatever the weather throws at them. For added peace of mind, we even offer a unique lifetime warranty, so you can be sure ours will be the last planter you ever need to buy.
Drainage
An often-overlooked aspect of planting is drainage. Too much water can be as harmful as not enough, but our entire metal planter range overcomes that issue, with built-in drainage holes preventing water-logged soil from damaging your plants.
Style and Design
Planters can be more than just homes for your flowers and plants; they can bring style and elegance to your garden. With a unique modular design, our planters can be stacked to create an individual and stunning outdoor display. Bringing more than just plants to your outdoor space, we also offer additional accessories to help you maximise your time outdoors.
