Spring Musts: Obbligato Planters

obbligato

WORDS Tracy Greenwood


Made in Durban, Obbligato planters come in a variety of materials and styles.

We’re getting tropical vibes from these cool stainless-steel-clad fibreglass planters from Obbligato. We love the delicious monster motif. The planters can be made to match any combination of colours, and the stainless steel cladding is available in a mirror, satin or powdercoated finish. Removable planting liners fit inside.

These planters retail from R2 550 for an unclad and from R7 970 for a clad 1 m-tall planter.

Fancy bountiful blooms in containers? Here are five favourite flowering plants for potting, according to Stodels Garden Centre. (And don’t forget to feed them with a liquid foliar fertiliser once a month.)

  • Floribunda roses
  • Petunias
  • Gazanias
  • Portulacas
  • Geraniums
