New planters have arrived that immediately catch the eye. The hexagonal shape of the Flamula HX planters brings a fresh breeze to our offering. They look elegant, almost architectural, yet still familiar enough to fit beautifully into any space. When I first saw them in photos, I thought about how good they would look on my terrace. Two light grey planters with sharp edges and plants spilling over the sides. Nothing overly symmetrical, nothing forced. Just clean lines and a sense of order.
These shapes are not entirely traditional. The hexagon gives the impression of a modern garden without feeling cold. They can be placed individually or grouped together – in that case, they create interesting patterns on the ground. The colors are chosen to match everything. This time we really took care in the selection. In addition to classic grey tones, warmer shades are also available. Golden yellow stands out and brings sunshine to an entrance, white feels clean and fresh, while light grey is elegant and neutral. Darker greys blend beautifully with modern façades. Just one yellow planter can already change the appearance of an entrance. Two white planters next to stairs create a sense of order and elegance. It doesn’t take much for a space to gain a new character.
A material that lasts for years
The planters are made of galvanized steel sheet, then powder-coated. This is not thin metal that bends after the first winter. It is a solid thickness that withstands rain, snow, sun, and frost. You don’t have to worry about rust or fading. Just place it outside and forget about maintenance. In practice, this means the planters can be placed at entrances, on terraces, along fences, or even indoors in larger spaces. They are often used to divide areas – for example between a seating area and a garden path.
What to plant in them?
This is the best part. In the hexagonal planters, you can plant practically anything. Smaller ones are perfect for ornamental grasses, ferns, small shrubs, or seasonal flowers. Larger ones can also accommodate bigger plants, bamboo, or even small trees. One of my favorite combinations is a mix of different textures: dense greenery at the base, tall grasses in the middle, and trailing plants cascading over the edge. It looks lively yet still tidy. In winter, you can add branches or evergreen plants, and the planters still look great.
Why hexagonal?
Because we already have enough squares and rectangles. This shape brings softness into geometry. The edges are not sharp as a knife, but gently softened where needed. When several pieces are placed together, they complement each other and create interesting patterns. Many customers have already told me they are looking for something that doesn’t look like everything else on their neighbor’s terrace. This HX series is exactly the answer to that. It is not loud, but distinctive enough to be noticed.
Practicality first
The planters have enough volume so the soil doesn’t dry out too quickly. The base is prepared for water drainage, so roots do not rot. The weight is stable – once filled, they are difficult for wind to move, yet not too heavy to reposition if needed. They are used on apartment balconies, in front of houses, at shop entrances, and on restaurant terraces. Anywhere you want greenery without having to dig into the ground.
A small final tip
Before ordering, take a moment to imagine where they will stand. Measure the space. Think about which plants you want to place inside. Then choose the color that matches your furniture or façade.
And when they arrive, simply place them, fill them with soil, and plant. No complications. Just a new green corner that will last for years.
If you are looking for something fresh yet highly practical, these Flamula HX hexagonal planters are currently one of the most interesting new products. They don’t demand attention, but they make the space more beautiful. And sometimes that is enough. They might surprise you just as they did me.
