5 Planters That Make Living Coral Flowers Pop
Animating and life-affirming. Sociable and lighthearted. These are the qualities that Pantone has ascribed to its colour of the year, Living Coral (PANTONE 16-1546). Pantone’s colour selection process responds to trends and themes of the current year. In this case, 2019’s vibrant colour evokes our desire to engage with one another on social media, and with the beauty of our natural surroundings.
Living Coral is a perfect colour for flower-lovers and garden centres. Tulips, petunias, roses, geraniums – it seems that every bloom is available in this peachy colour. But what about planters and pots that fit the trend?
“Home gardeners are looking for options that reflect what they’re seeing on Instagram and in gardening magazines,” says Janan Alles, A.M.A.’s growing container expert. “My goal is to help our garden centre customers deliver the right trends to keep their customers coming back year after year. We work with suppliers all over the world to keep our thumb on the pulse of garden and growing container trends.”
We’ve picked our favourite planters, pots and growing containers that help make Living Coral-coloured plants pop.
