Triflora Hanging Planter

Do you love the look of hanging plants in your window, or the idea of growing an indoor herb garden in your kitchen, but have no room to keep them? Then this clever hanging planter is perfect for you!

Winner of the IHA (International Housewares Show) 2019 “Best of Show” Award, the Umbra Triflora Hanging Planter was designed by Dayna Mailach and Chris Snell. They wanted to create a design that would allow plants to be more easily displayed next to sunlight while simultaneously not taking up too much counter or ledge space. After deciding the solution would be wall-mounted, they then found inspiration from Umbra’s telescoping drapery rods. From this, the design became even more dynamic with the ability to accommodate various window types.

Easy to install, Triflora comes with all necessary mounting hardware and its durable and lightweight melamine pots hold standard 3-inch potted plants.
