      Creeping alpines or succulents maybe ? They would creep down between those pointed bits. It looks a bit top heavy to have something tall in it, and rather narrow too.

      Hi @Will Hay , Does the planter have drainage holes and how big is it?

      One idea would be to buy inner pots that fit in perfectly, and grow seasonal displays.

      In the summer, small flowered Petunias would look wonderful cascading down between the "teeth". Trailing Calibrachoa is also beautiful. Calibrachoa and Million Bells | J Parker Dutch Bulbs

      In the winter a display of perhaps Gaultheria plus some evergreen grasses (Festuca?) and trailing Ivy or Vinca Minor.

      For permanent planting, a small evergreen flowering shrub could work as long as the shape is more horizontal than upright. A small Daphne perhaps? Anything trailing would compliment the shape and height of the planter. :)

      If the bunnies are part of the planter, Bunny's tail grass might be irresistible :biggrin:

        Hellebores, perhaps?

        Hi, where are you located? perhaps a trailing Begonia.
