Buttacup - A Gardener’s Christmas Gift, Stocking Filler or Secret Santa


Contemporary, decorative and sustainable, Buttacup planters are a new and stylish way to create a haven for all types of flora in any outside space and a perfect gift idea for any gardener.

Buttacup Flow is the world's first self-watering planter designed to brighten up the common water butt. Curved to fit the side of any standard circular water butt, its drip-feed valve system keeps plants watered even when homeowners are away on holiday. 

Buttacup Bloom is a crescent shaped planter which can be stood alongside anything circular in the garden from tree trunks to pots, or they can just be left free standing.

Developed and manufactured in the UK, both planters are robust yet lightweight. The rangeis available in a choice of colours, easy to install and comes complete with all components and clear instructions.  Patented and trademarked, Buttacup Flow retails at £11.95 and Buttacup Bloom retails at £5.95.



Launched to the UK market at GLEE 2015, Buttacup Flow was a winner at the exhibition’s coveted New Product Awards, achieving second runner up placement in the prestigious Best Home, Gift and Clothing category. Buttacup Flow also recently came runner up in the GIMA Innovators Seed Corn Fund award.

“This recognition of our low cost garden innovation, Buttacup Flow, establishes it further as a must have item for gardeners of all ages,” commented Bjorn Wood, Buttercup’s founder.

Buttacup has one simple mission… to create a lasting improvement to gardens and open spaces all over the country by developing attractive, self-sustaining products that will make it easier for gardeners with any size of plot to grow green.
