Description
Tuck a trailing sedum or a mop of creeping thyme into the Cohasset Gifts & Gardens Sissy & Bab Owl Planter and watch a pair of wide-eyed owls sprout a leafy hairdo. Sissy, the mama owl, forms the pot itself in mossy green and brown with big purple-rimmed eyes and a tiny dark beak, while Bab the owlet perches at her feet in rusty orange. Part of the whimsical Blobhouse line, this small owl planter stands 4-3/4 inches tall with a 2-1/2 inch round opening, making it a cheerful home for succulents, herbs and small annuals.
Key Features
- Two owls in one: Sissy forms the planter body while little Bab sits at her feet, so the pair reads as a mama-and-baby scene from every angle.
- Textured, painted finish: A stony, mottled surface in olive green and brown with purple eye rings and cream eyes that pop against foliage.
- Drain hole built in: Like every Blobhouse planter, this owl drains from the bottom so roots stay healthy and an extra splash of water is forgiven.
- Small-plant friendly: The 2-1/2 inch opening suits a 2 inch nursery pot of sedum, echeveria, thyme or a single annual.
- About Cohasset Gifts & Gardens: The Blobhouse animal planters are designed by artist Gesine Kratzner and brought to garden centers by Cohasset Gifts & Gardens.
How to Use It
Plant Sissy with something that spills. A trailing sedum, string of pearls or creeping thyme pouring over her eyes gives the owl the shaggy plumage that makes the whole piece funny. Fill the opening with a fast-draining cactus mix, set the root ball just below the rim and water lightly until it runs from the drain hole. Display the owl on a patio table, porch step or windowsill where her eyes meet people at face level. Indoors, slip a saucer underneath to protect furniture. Pair her with the other Blobhouse birds and barnyard characters for a shelf full of personalities, or give her as a housewarming or teacher gift with the plant already growing.
