It's the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas! This festive period is a great opportunity to give your outdoor space a festive touch, and what better place than your Corten steel planters? With their natural, warm color and durable construction, they are the perfect canvas for your Christmas creations. Discover our tips and inspiration for evergreen plants and lighting in your planters to really bring the Christmas spirit to your garden.
Evergreen wonders
When temperatures drop and some plants lose their leaves, there are certain species that faithfully retain their color. These are the so-called "evergreen" plants. Not only do they form a beautiful green base all year round, but some even bloom in winter, making them an ideal component for your Christmas planter. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Christmas roses: Their name alone indicates that these plants are perfect for your Christmas decorations. Despite their delicate appearance, Christmas roses are particularly weather-resistant.
- Poinsettias: Although they bloom best indoors, poinsettias can add a colorful accent to a sheltered outdoor container.
- Conifers: Smaller varieties of these evergreen trees fit perfectly in Corten steel planters and bring a real winter feel to your garden.
Let it rain lightly
Lighting plays a big role in Christmas decorations. Fairy lights, lanterns, or even illuminated Christmas figures can add both a touch of warmth and festive cheer to your garden. Experiment with different types of lighting and see what best suits your style.
Style your Corten steel planter
The great thing about Corten steel planters is that they have the capacity to transform. Go for a traditional look with red and green, or opt for a minimalist white and silver theme.
Versatility: from Christmas to New Year and beyond
The best thing about these decorations? They're not just for Christmas. After the holidays, simply remove specific Christmas elements from your planters, replace them with extra lights or winter decorations, and you're ready for the new year and beyond.
Don't leave your Corten steel planters unused this holiday season. With evergreen plants and festive lighting, you can give everyone who visits your home the warmest welcome.
