Grey Tall Square Planter

The Tall Square Planter is a lightweight composite pot in a dark grey Green Earth finish, sold in a 300mm and a 320mm width. Both are tall square tapered forms, 50cm and 70cm high, so they lift a plant to eye level without taking up floor width. That makes them useful either side of a door or along a narrow courtyard.

Why you'll love it

• Height where you have no width. A 30cm footprint carrying 50cm of height, or 32cm carrying 70cm, gives you presence in an entry or a balcony corner.
• Real soil volume for the size. 40 to 45 litres in the smaller planter and 65 to 70 litres in the larger, enough for an indoor tree rather than a token plant.
• Light and easy to manoeuvre. Composite construction stays robust for everyday use while weighing far less than concrete at the same height.
• A finish that stays quiet. The earthy dark grey works against render, timber and brick without competing with the planting.

Sizes and what fits in them

Sizes are the width across the top. Volumes are approximate mix capacity.

• 300mm. 30cm wide and 50cm high, about 40 to 45 litres. Feature plants, indoor trees and tall foliage plants, and the easier of the two to move once planted.
• 320mm. 32cm wide and 70cm high, about 65 to 70 litres. Large feature plants and architectural greenery, or a matched pair framing an entry.

They are close in width and far apart in height, so choose on the height you want.

Material, weathering and drainage

Material. Lightweight composite with a dark grey Green Earth finish. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth or rinse it with water.

Outdoors. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. No frost or UV rating is published for this planter, so we do not claim one. A tall tapered pot also catches more wind than a low one, which makes a sheltered position the safer choice.

Drainage. Drainage holes are included in both sizes. No saucer is supplied, and indoors you want one, because a 65 litre planter sheds real water after a soak. Use a free draining mix and stand it level.

What to expect when it arrives

Planters ship empty and unplanted, boxed for transport, with no plant or potting mix included. Position before you plant: the 320mm at 70cm high is straightforward to carry empty and awkward once it holds 65 litres of wet mix. Delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
