Top Tips For Selecting Wrought Iron Outdoor Planters

By Marissa Velazquez


There are a great variety of reasons why home owners are interested in buying wrought iron outdoor planters to decorate garden spaces. A first point is that the metal structure is often very strong and can last for many years. That means the item may be viewed as a good long term investment.

Secondly, this type of planter makes a strong style statement. The black iron provides a rich contrast to the bright colors of leaves and flowers. As well, you may choose to paint the metal in whatever color you like, giving it an attractive versatility.

Choosing the best item to suit your outdoor space may be a bit of a challenge, as there are countless types of planters available to shoppers. However, a few simple tips can help and this guide is aimed at helping you through the process. To follow are some pointers to help you to choose the best accessory for your garden or yard.

A very important aspect that lots of buyers overlook is what type of plant that you intend to install in the pot. Trailing varieties need lots of space so the planter should be high enough to allow leaves and vines to spread over the pot. The size of the planter should be matched to the type of plant.

You should also give attention to how much width and depth is required for the roots of the plant you wish to grow. Those which are temporary and replanted each season (annuals) may require less room than perennials. Be sure to check that there is both sufficient diameter and depth for the roots to thrive.

Also, you should consider the setting for the pots. If you plan to install them in the front of the house, it is a good idea to tie in with the overall styling of your home. For example, ionic styling on the front columns of your home can be repeated in the planters. This is an effective way of tying together the whole look.

You should also take into consideration how much time and care is required to look after the item. Some iron pieces need to be painted from time to time with a special treatment to help protect from the ravages of weather as well as rust. Some have been pre treated when they are sold. Others will need your help to ensure they stay in good shape.

For further tips on shopping for wrought iron outdoor planters, you can find information in home decorating magazines. Many provide helpful guides on shopping for and accessorizing your garden. In addition, there are a variety of blogs available online which are devoted to outdoor furnishings. Some provide simple tips to help with caring for and trimming plants and keeping plant pots looking their best. Some even provide suggestions for products and styles to suit your outdoor space. Choosing the best item for your garden depends on a variety of factors from style requirements to cost, but doing your research in advance will help you to choose.
