Know before you buy
Yes, weighing 163 lbs, this cast stone planter is substantial and designed to be floor-standing. Its significant weight provides excellent stability for outdoor environments.
While it is suitable for indoor use, please note that it features two pre-installed drainage holes. You will need to place a tray or saucer underneath to protect your floors from water runoff.
Cast stone is a natural material that develops a unique patina as it is exposed to the elements. Over time, you can expect the finish to weather and age, which adds to the piece's traditional, authentic aesthetic.
No, this specific model is designed as a floor-standing planter. It does not include mounting brackets or hardware for elevated window installation.
The planter comes with two pre-installed drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the roots. We recommend adding a layer of gravel or landscape fabric at the bottom before adding soil to keep the drainage holes clear.
The high-density 7,500 PSI cast stone is highly durable and weather-resistant. However, to prevent potential cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend ensuring the planter is elevated off the ground and kept free of standing water during freezing temperatures.
