The Vintage Trough Seasonal Planter is crafted using a combination of high-quality living plants and a rustic-inspired metal trough, creating a decorative piece that blends style with natural beauty. Each planter is hand-prepared with a carefully chosen selection of hardy, seasonal plants designed to thrive outdoors in UK conditions.
The trough itself is made from durable metal with a distressed, vintage-style finish, lending a rustic character that looks equally at home on a patio, balcony, doorstep, or garden table. Its compact size makes it versatile, while the weathered design ensures it blends seamlessly with both traditional and modern outdoor spaces.
Inside, the planter is filled with a vibrant assortment of living plants. Hardy pansies bring splashes of colour, offering cheerful blooms that brighten up even the dullest days. Cyclamen provide elegant seasonal flowers, known for their bold petals and striking hues. Ferns add lush greenery and texture, while a natural moss covering completes the arrangement with a soft, woodland-inspired finish.
Unlike artificial decorations, this planter is entirely natural, with each living element growing and evolving over time. No two planters are identical, as the arrangement reflects the unique character of the plants included. The seasonal planting ensures a display that adapts and changes, offering interest throughout the year.
Every planter is prepared using premium compost, giving the plants a strong foundation for healthy growth. They are chosen for their resilience and low-maintenance nature, making the display easy to care for, even for beginner gardeners. Simply place it outdoors in a bright but sheltered spot, water regularly to keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged), and remove spent flowers to encourage new growth.
The planter is supplied ready-made and gift-ready, making it a wonderful present for garden enthusiasts, new homeowners, or as a thoughtful seasonal surprise. Unlike cut flowers, which fade after a short time, this living planter continues to thrive, providing colour and greenery long after gifting.
With its blend of rustic charm, hardy plants, and long-lasting appeal, the Vintage Trough Seasonal Planter is both a decorative feature and a sustainable, natural gift. It is designed to bring joy, brighten outdoor areas, and require very little upkeep, making it an excellent choice for any home or garden.
The Vintage Trough Seasonal Planter is designed to be both compact and impactful, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor settings. The trough measures approximately 25–30cm wide, providing enough space for a generous mix of seasonal flowers and foliage while remaining easy to position in small or large gardens alike.
Its size is ideal for doorsteps, balconies, patios, or garden tables, where it adds colour and texture without taking up too much room. The metal trough is sturdy and durable, with a rustic finish that enhances its vintage appeal.
Inside, the thoughtfully arranged combination of pansies, cyclamen, ferns, and moss creates a layered effect of colour, greenery, and texture. This compact yet eye-catching planter offers instant charm and seasonal beauty, making it perfect as a decorative display or as a gift. Its manageable size ensures effortless placement and easy care, making it accessible for gardeners of all levels.
