Description
Perch a rooster with real color on your patio table with the Cohasset Gifts & Gardens Wilbur Rooster Planter. Wilbur wears a turquoise-blue body, a rusty red head and wings, a tall red comb, a dangling wattle and a scalloped collar of feathers, plus a pair of goggle eyes that stare straight ahead. His back opens into the planting pocket, so succulents or a small annual sprout between his wings and tail. At 6-3/4 inches, he is the tallest of these Blobhouse barnyard planters and brings a splash of blue to a shelf full of greens.
Key Features
- Two-tone color: A turquoise body against a rust-red head, wings and tail, with a bright red comb and wattle for a rooster nobody will miss.
- Back opening: The planting pocket sits between the wings, so foliage becomes his plumage.
- Drain hole: A hole in the base lets water run through, so Wilbur can stand outdoors or hold dry-loving succulents.
- Textured finish: A rough, painted surface with mottled shading that looks like weathered stone and hides fingerprints and water marks.
- 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
Give Wilbur something upright to show off. A clump of hens and chicks, a small aloe or haworthia, a fan of sedum or a single bright annual all suit the pocket on his back. Fill it with a fast-draining mix, plant an inch below the rim and water lightly until it runs from the drain hole. Wilbur stands out on a sunny windowsill, a farmhouse kitchen counter or a covered porch table. Outdoors, place him in an herb garden, on a patio wall or beside the coop. Set him next to Lil Red Hen and May Belle for a full barnyard. Dust with a soft brush and move him under cover before hard freezes.
