It’s time for flowers – time to fill our outdoor spaces with their living color, texture, fragrance, and foliage. This year, we drew inspiration for our selection of 14” pre-planted doorstep planters and 12” annual hanging baskets from some of the world’s most unique locations and artistic influences – from festive beachside resorts to elegant formal estates, from the energy surging through vibrant reds and blues to the peacefulness of muted greens and pastel pinks. Here, we introduce you to the distinctive collections you’ll find among this spring’s selection of premade planters and hanging baskets and share the inspirations behind each one.
Boardwalk // Lively · Citrus · Bright
Close your eyes and imagine – it’s 1925. You’re having brunch on the beachside shaded from the bright sun by a broad, striped umbrella. Music is coming from somewhere in the background and a cold mimosa beckons from the nearby table. It’s that vision of relaxation mixed with the potential for a full day of fun that inspires the bright corals, golden yellows, and vivid orange hues in our Boardwalk collection.
Still // Delicate · Subtle · Pastel
Our Still collection is about slowing down. It’s about being deliberate and just taking some time to relax. The subtle pastels and soft, flowing lines are comfortable, approachable, soothing. They remind us that it’s ok to just breathe sometimes and make space for what really matters. The rose pink, soft coral, and tawny color palette is like a virtual stroll into deep, warm sand.
Grøn // Contemporary · Linear · Green
The Danish word for green, Grøn is inspired by the spirit of Denmark’s modern furniture tradition – just reinterpreted in the language of plants. This collection celebrates layers of green, clean lines, straightforward design, and simplifying our surroundings with organic materials and minimal shapes. In this collection, the container and its placement play as much a part in the aesthetic as the plants themselves.
Estate // Elegant · Formal · Timeless
Some things never go out of style – they possess a timeless beauty that becomes the standard because they seem to have always been. That timeless beauty in bright, classic blooms inspires our Estate collection. In the landscape, you might feel it as you wander through a French formal garden or one lined with English hedges. In container design, you might see this aesthetic represented by classics like red geranium, purple verbena, and variegated ivy.
Moonlight // Mystical · Moody · Enchanting
As warm days give way to soft nights on the patio this summer, you might notice the same sights, textures, fragrances, and sensations that inspired our Moonlight collection of planters and hanging baskets. To us, this collection is about obscured light and deep shadows. It celebrates cool purples and blues mixed with soft textures and star-like fireflies. It epitomizes an enchanting walk through the garden with only the moon’s light to guide the way.
Bold // Strong · Powerful · Vivid
In collaboration with Sarah Lorsung Tvrdik of @sarahinnebraska, this collection is about loving what you love – passionately – while tuning everything else out. It’s having the courage to go your own way, pushing an aesthetic to the absolute brink. And invoking emotion, whether good or bad. It’s Diana Vreeland’s iconic red floral living room, standing boldly in a sea of neutrals.
