If your DH gave you this planter, what would you put in it?

So... DH has gifted me this fine beast.

It's not as quite random as you may think, as you will see from the photo of our 'lawn ornament'. But now I have to work out what to put in it - either from whatever I've already got available in the garden, or a list so I don't have to linger in a garden centre (the local ones are discouraging browsing as the reopen).

I was looking at the photo thinking ‘that is a really realistic planter’.

Sorry, no help with the plants.

unfortunately I don't think he's big enough.

Oh wow. I was only looking at these this morning and admiring them! How lovely that your DH has bought you one.

I’d put it near my front door and put trailing fuschias in it

@Letsnotargue I spent way too long looking at the pic thinking how realistic it was too!

You're right he's quite shallow, and a bit short for anything trailing.

I liked at the photo too wondering where the plants would go....a few sprigs in the nostrils, a couple in the ears and a few sticking out from the...

Looked not liked.

I did like the photo though

Catmint

House leeks. It's a bit shallow for anything else

Yep, another one wondering where you were about to insert the plants.

Geraniums

House leeks. It's a bit shallow for anything else

I was wondering about those ... a half dachshund, half hedgehog look?

There's a house we walk by which has a great collection of houseleeks (and possibly some sedums) atop their wall, they've embedded half a drainpipe in it to create a shallow bed. It sounds like it might be naff but it really works.

Parsley. Which incidentely is also a very good name for a dog.
