Best Plants for the BACINO Cottage Planter
The BACINO's wide, shallow planting area is especially well-suited for compact plants, seasonal flowers, and mixed arrangements. Great options include:
- Colorful Flowers: Pansies, violas, begonias, and compact petunias
- Trailing Plants: Creeping Jenny, bacopa, and trailing lobelia
- Culinary Herbs: Thyme, oregano, and compact parsley
- Succulents: Echeveria, small sedums, and other compact varieties
- Seasonal Displays: Spring flowers and fall container arrangements
Planting Tip: With approximately 4.3 inches of planting depth, BACINO works best for shallow-rooted or compact plants. Avoid large shrubs, deep-rooted vegetables, and plants that will quickly outgrow the container. Select plants with similar watering requirements when creating mixed arrangements.
