Design & Construction

Hand-welded steel construction ensures lasting durability, while the black plastic coating protects against rust and weathering.
Ideal Applications
- Patio and deck focal points
- Entryway statements (stunning in pairs)
- Poolside vertical gardens
- Balcony and terrace displays
- Garden bed accents
- Seasonal color towers
- Event and wedding décor
Creating Cascading Displays
The three-tier design allows you to create layered plantings with different colors, textures, and heights at each level. Plant trailing varieties in the upper baskets to cascade down over the lower levels, or use upright plants in all tiers for a more structured look. The generous depths (8" and 11") support healthy root systems and reduce watering frequency.
Planting Suggestions by Tier
Top Basket (14" diameter x 8" deep):
- Trailing petunias, ivy geraniums, or sweet potato vine for maximum cascading effect
- Upright geraniums, coleus, or ornamental grasses for height
- Compact mixed arrangements with central upright surrounded by trailing plants
Middle Basket (18" diameter x 11" deep):
- Medium-sized plants that complement the top tier
- Coordinating colors that bridge top and bottom baskets
- Mix of upright and trailing varieties for layered interest
Bottom Basket (23" diameter x 11" deep):
- Larger plants, small shrubs, or substantial mixed plantings
- Foliage plants that provide backdrop for upper tiers
- Bold colors or textures that anchor the entire display
Seasonal Versatility
-
Spring: Pansies, violas, trailing lobelia, spring bulbs, primrose
-
Summer: Petunias, geraniums, calibrachoa, coleus, sweet potato vine
-
Fall: Mums, ornamental kale, trailing ivy, decorative grasses, asters
-
Winter: Evergreen boughs, winterberry, decorative elements, holly
Color Coordination Strategies
-
Monochromatic: Use varying shades of one color across all three tiers
-
Complementary: Pair opposite colors (purple/yellow, red/green) for dramatic contrast
-
Analogous: Use adjacent colors (blue/purple/pink) for harmonious blending
-
Gradient: Progress from light to dark or vice versa from top to bottom
Moveable Flexibility
The freestanding design allows you to reposition the planter for seasonal changes, events, or to follow the sun. Move it to create symmetrical displays, refresh your outdoor space, or bring it to a protected area during extreme weather.
Included Coco Liners
Three preformed coco-fiber liners are included, sized specifically for the 14", 18", and 23" baskets. The natural coco fiber retains moisture while allowing proper drainage, creating optimal growing conditions. Liners are ready to use—simply insert, add soil, and plant.
Styling Tips
Use in pairs flanking doorways or pathways for symmetrical elegance. Create color echoes across all three tiers for cohesive design, or use contrasting colors for dramatic impact. The 36" height works beautifully as a statement piece that draws the eye upward without overwhelming the space.
