My zinc planter is the perfect size and color to host my favorite purple-tinged succulents in a tabletop container garden. I don’t remember where I got it, but the other day I spotted an identical zinc planter at Anthropologie. In three sizes. Temptation, thy name is corrugated metal:

Above: In addition to the Small Ridged Zinc Pot (L) I used to make a tabletop succulent garden, Anthropologie sells two taller versions suitable for a single plant with deeper roots; the taller Ridged Zinc Pots are $12 and $20 apiece, depending on height.
