Know before you buy
While the planter is constructed from lightweight fiberglass and resin, it weighs 17.38 lbs empty. Once filled with soil and a large plant, it becomes significantly heavier and stable enough for most patio or garden environments.
No special maintenance is needed. The finish is designed to develop a natural, aged patina over time as it is exposed to the elements, which enhances its classic, weathered appearance.
Yes, the design is functional for rainwater collection. However, please note that it comes with a pre-drilled drainage hole for plant health, so you would need to plug that hole if you intend to use it solely as a water reservoir.
Yes, the blend of natural stone, resin, and fiberglass is weather-resistant and durable. It is built to withstand outdoor conditions year-round, though we always recommend ensuring proper drainage to prevent water from freezing and expanding inside the pot.
With a 21.5-inch diameter and a 126-quart capacity, this jar is well-suited for large shrubs, small ornamental trees, or substantial floral arrangements. It provides plenty of root space for plants that require deeper soil.
