Large Outdoor Planters

Plants, flowers, or small trees in large outdoor planters can be a bold and attractive addition to public and private spaces. Our collection of large outdoor planters includes a wide variety of colours and style, meaning you can find a design that fits seamlessly with your desired aesthetic and plant. These planters include anti-tip stability kits, as well as innovative drainage systems to keep your plants healthy.

About Large Outdoor Planters

Transform your open space into an aesthetically pleasing and vibrant environment with our range of extra-large planters for outdoor spaces.

Our range of extra-large outdoor planters is the best choice for improving open spaces, upgrading an area’s aesthetic appeal, and protecting large plants, trees, and bushes from passersby and the elements. These planters are designed to accommodate a variety of plants, from small trees and shrubs to flowers, making them ideal for public areas, commercial properties, and private gardens. With their huge size and strong build, our range of outdoor large planters can transform any open space into a vibrant and inviting environment.

All of our outdoor extra-large planters are made from high-quality, durable materials like HDPE. These extra-large outdoor planter pots can withstand harsh weather conditions and maintain their aesthetic over long periods of time in the range of weather experienced in the UK. The large size of our planter boxes allows them to hold a higher volume of soil, which promotes healthier plant growth and reduces the need for frequent watering and maintenance.

Large Trough Planters

Designed to hold a bed of different flowers and plants, our range of large rectangular planters are chosen to bring more diversity to an outdoor space. These long planters are amongst the biggest pots for plants that we stock and can fill a lot of space, drawing the attention of passersby while promoting a cleaner, healthier environment and protecting a host of plants.

Large Plastic Outdoor Planters

Usually made from HDPE, our plastic planters are amongst the most popular in our range. They are hard-wearing in harsh outdoor conditions but maintain their “like-new” aesthetic over their long lifetimes, requiring very little maintenance. Plastic retains moisture, too, so moist soils will dry much more slowly than ceramic variations.

Large Ceramic Planters

Although they are significantly heavier and more expensive than other options, clay pots can last for generations outside (if they’re not dropped!). These are the best value for money possible for any large outdoor plant container.

Getting The Best Large Planter Pot For Your Outdoor Space

Consider these key factors when choosing from our range of large outdoor flower pots and planters:

Material and Durability

The design and material choice of large outdoor planters are very important as these factors affect plant growth and maintenance. Different plants prefer different pot materials. Plants that need good drainage or air circulation prefer a clay pot with drainage hole(s), whereas other plants that do not need as much drainage thrive in plastic.

Size and Volume

How large does your planter need to be? Consider the mature size of the plants that will occupy the planter, making sure to provide enough room for healthy root development. Larger planters provide more soil volume, which supports healthier plant growth and reduces maintenance.

Drainage

Much of our range of large flower planters for outdoor use has built-in drainage. Choose large garden pots with ample drainage to minimise maintenance and root rot.

Mobility and Placement

Will the planter ever need moving? Plastic and fibreglass planters are relatively light, but extra-large plant pots generally are extremely heavy and difficult to move without wheels when full. Make sure your large outdoor planter is placed in an area that fulfils the plants' needs, providing enough sunlight and protection from harsh weather conditions throughout the year.

Insulation and Protection

Depending on the location and environment in which the planter will be installed, your plants may benefit from insulation, which can help maintain a stable root environment. Large planters provide some level of insulation to protect plant roots from extreme temperatures. Materials like plastic and clay offer natural insulation, whereas metal planters might benefit from extra insulation measures.

Maintenance

Some materials require more maintenance than others; consider planters that fit your space's maintenance capabilities. Bear in mind, too, that the plants themselves will need varying levels of maintenance too (depending on what’s growing), even if automated watering systems have been installed!

Sustainability

To reduce your environmental impact, look for planters made from more eco-friendly materials, such as recycled plastics and sustainably sourced wood to reduce your environmental impact.
