Outdoor Work: a Designer’s Checklist for Every UX Project.

Summer is fast approaching, and with it, the thought of bright blooms and fun foliage adorning our patios, porches, and balconies. We’ve curated four outdoor collections to satisfy every style, making it easy to add expertly designed, coordinated color to your outdoor space.

Our outdoor collections are designed to bloom and flourish from the time they arrive on your doorstep all the way to the first fall frost. Each style is available in three different formats so that you can mix and match to fit your space:

• Choose a Hanging Pot if you want to carry the color upwards in your space. Great for adding height and maximizing floor space, hanging pots can be suspended from sturdy overhead areas like the eaves of a porch, a tall shepherd’s hook, or even a robust tree branch.
• The Medium Planter is the perfect accent on a side table or next to an outdoor sofa. It can also add color to the outside edge of steps, the top surface of pillars, or along walkways for a welcoming approach.
• A pair of Large Planters perfectly flank an outdoor entrance or focal point. Whether it be a doorway, walkway, or an outdoor fireplace, their larger stature frames these features in a balanced proportion.

Elevate With Ethereal Accents

Dreamy, wild, and full of relaxing hues, the Whimsical Collection is ideal for those who want to add a splash of cool-toned color to their spaces. Designed to celebrate the slightly unkempt cottage garden aesthetic, this collection features a delightful variety of flower forms, from upright spiky stalks, to gracefully arching seed heads, rounded balls of blooms, and oversized trumpet-shaped flowers. Choose this collection if you’re looking to create a perfectly imperfect outdoor retreat.

Where to place it

Choose an outdoor area with 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day, like an unobstructed area facing south or west. These plants can tolerate fewer hours of direct sun, but flowering and overall vigor will be reduced.

Pair it with

Thanks to its irregular form and variegated leaves, we think the Ficus Altissima is the perfect complement to the Whimsical Collection. This indoor tree can live in the sunny outdoors during the summer when properly acclimated over the course of a couple of weeks.
