Jumbo Planters 1m+

Make your plants and their planters the centrepiece of your garden and give them something equally as beautiful to grow in. Our jumbo plant pots come in a range of colours, designs, and materials to suit the artistic design you've created.

Jumbo planters are smart and durable, particularly our contemporary planters which have been given a lick of zinc galvanised coating to make them resistant to the elements, looking good as new for longer. To begin filling your plant pots, don’t forget to browse our vegetable seeds and flower seeds online.

What plants are best for jumbo planters?

Jumbo plant pots can accompany bigger plants and turn ordinary gardens into works of art. Adding height to your landscape, mixing jumbo planters with smaller ones can add drama to your outdoor space.

Great designs usually go by the rule "thrillers, fillers, spillers". Thriller plants are the big and bold ones which will be the main focus of your jumbo planter – usually tall, vertical ornamental plants in the middle. Fillers are mid-size, rounded plants that fill the space in the planter and complement the thriller. Spiller plants are cascading ones that tumble over the side of your jumbo plant pot, adding some variation to the appearance.

What to put at the bottom of jumbo planter

Jumbo plant pots take large amounts of soil, which weighs it down and compresses it, having an effect on drainage and the root's ability to grow.

Before you fill your jumbo planter with soil, lay the bottom with light materials such as plastic and foam packing materials, recycled plastics, or crushed cans – just make sure they're clean of any food remnants and won't rot.

Avoid filler that will break down easily such as paper or cardboard. The filler should make up around one-third of your pot, then lay mesh or landscaping fabric over top to keep it in place, and add soil.

Finding the right size planter

If our jumbo range is too large for your garden, we also have a choice of sizes including small planters under 30cm, medium planters at 31-50cm, and large planters at 51cm-1m.
