Concrete Planters
Concrete Planters
Concrete planters can come heavily pocketed or smooth. The former arrive sand coloured - a classic mediterranean aesthetic - and are great for adding some rustic charm to your garden. The latter are grey, ideal for a modernist, sleek chic. Great indoors or out, no planter is the same whether tall or trough, and heavily pocketed planters will weather over time and sometimes change colour, while glass-fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) offers something different: resistant to weathering, GFRC will maintain its often sleek, uniform appearance, akin to fibreglass planters. For a wealth of inspiration and expertise, have a look at our Planters Ideas & Advice hub.

Are concrete planters worth it?
Whereas wood or plastic planters may be susceptible to rot or weather damage, concrete planters tend to last far longer. As a result, they can often be seen as a more environmentally friendly option, as you’re less likely to have to replace broken planters.
What’s more, because the planters are heavier, they offer more protection for your plants, as they’re less likely to be blown over.
Large concrete plant pots are more expensive than other planters but they remain usable over a longer time frame.

Will concrete planters crack?
The cold shouldn't affect concrete planters. Generally concrete is a long lasting material that is hard to break. Concrete that isn't conditioned properly or is thin in thickness can crack, but this shouldn't be the case with Primrose planters due to how they are manufactured.

Yes! Even though concrete is a porous material, your planter will still need drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. All of our concrete planters come with in built drainage holes so your plants won't suffer from overwatering (unless listed otherwise on the product pages).
