Why plants in a vintage shop?
Finding living plants among vintage pottery might seem unexpected, but there’s a simple connection: a beautiful planter deserves an equally lovely plant. Baby’s Tears is a great companion for many of the vintage planters we sell, including the Hornsea Pottery Fauna range. Its delicate foliage complements woodland animals, bark-effect glazes and little log planters, bringing a miniature landscape to life.
Home-grown Baby’s Tears for vintage planters
Every plant in this collection is home grown by us. Whether you’re refreshing a favourite ceramic planter or putting together a new display, Baby’s Tears offers a soft contrast to the colour and texture of vintage pottery. Check each listing for the plant size and what’s included, and choose a planter with enough room for it to grow.
Baby’s Tears for shady borders and pond edges
Baby’s Tears isn’t just for indoor displays. It’s also a lovely low-growing ground-cover plant for shady garden spots, forming a soft carpet of tiny leaves. Try it in moist, shaded borders, beneath larger plants or beside a garden pond, where its delicate foliage can soften the edges of stones and paving.
Choose a sheltered position with moisture-retentive soil and avoid letting it dry out. Also known as Mind-Your-Own-Business, this spreading plant is best placed where it has room to wander; trim it back when needed to keep neighbouring small plants clear.
