Know before you buy
No, the lichen is established and part of the stone's natural patina. It does not require maintenance and will continue to thrive in outdoor environments with appropriate moisture and shade.
Yes, because they are crafted from solid cast stone, these urns are quite substantial and stable. They are well-suited for garden settings and are unlikely to tip over in typical windy conditions.
The 5.5-inch depth is ideal for shallow-rooted plants such as annuals, small ferns, or trailing ivy. It is best to avoid deep-rooted shrubs or large perennials that require significant soil volume.
Yes, these urns are designed with drainage to ensure proper water management for your plants. We recommend placing them on a permeable surface or using pot feet if you are concerned about water pooling on a patio.
Cast stone is a durable, long-lasting material, but it can be susceptible to damage if water freezes inside the pot. To prolong the life of your urn, we recommend elevating it off the ground during winter or moving it to a sheltered area if you live in a climate with severe freezing temperatures.
