Description
Tuck a small succulent into the Cohasset Gifts & Gardens Luna Sleeping Dog Planter and let a dozing pup keep watch over your windowsill. Luna lies flat with her eyes closed, tail curled along her side and one ear flopped forward, finished in warm honey-gold and cream patches with a glossy black nose. The opening sits along her back, so a rosette or trailing plant looks as if it is growing straight out of a napping dog. At 3 inches tall, this Blobhouse planter fits a sill, a desk or a shelf with room to spare.
Key Features
- Sleeping pose: Luna rests on her belly with closed eyes and a curled tail, a calm little sculpture even before you add a plant.
- Drain hole: Every Blobhouse planter has a drain hole, so extra water escapes instead of pooling around succulent roots.
- Weathered finish: A rough, speckled surface with soft washes of gold, cream and grey gives the dog planter a handmade, stony look.
- Small footprint: At 3 inches tall, Luna is the low, wide shape that suits a narrow sill or the corner of a desk.
- About Cohasset Gifts & Gardens: The Blobhouse line of animal planters was designed by artist Gesine Kratzner and is distributed by Cohasset Gifts & Gardens, which sells it through garden centers.
How to Use It
Fill Luna with a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix and plant a small echeveria, sedum or haworthia, keeping the crown just below the rim. Set the planter on a saucer or tray indoors, because the drain hole lets water pass straight through. Water sparingly and let the mix dry out between drinks; succulents would rather be forgotten than fussed over. Give Luna a bright windowsill, a bathroom shelf or an office desk where her sleeping face sits at eye level. Move her outdoors for the warm months on a covered porch table, then bring her back inside before the first frost. Pair her with Bailey, Perky or Stella from the same line to build a whole napping pack.
