Why use outdoor planters?

Whether you have a green thumb or not, outdoor planters complement home entrances, mailboxes, and—of course—gardens. Planters on an apartment balcony or strewn across a backyard transform the space into an entire ecosystem without ever lifting a shovel. They’re essential for keeping invasive plants separate and making plants portable. Sometimes outdoor planters are even self-watering , allowing you to enjoy the benefits of gardening with minimal effort.

Types of outdoor planters

You may choose an outdoor planter purely for aesthetics—from simple modern shapes to ornate designs, there’s a planter for every style. But for practical purposes, the type of outdoor planter you use depends on the size of your plant and the size of your outdoor space: Large outdoor planters: Large outdoor planters and extra large outdoor planters accommodate large plants and bonsai trees and look very chic with small shrubs. Fill them with a mixture of ferns, grasses, and bamboo to go all-in on a backyard jungle paradise, or top off your massive planter with multi-colored succulents or flowers for an extra pop among the greenery. Outdoor wall planters: Outdoor wall planters hang on fences, railings, or walls to make a space feel more enclosed by nature. Choose these planters if you’re looking to create a peaceful spot outdoors or simply want to break up the sameness of a long stretch of wall. Hanging outdoor planters: Hanging outdoor planters are an effective way to add intrigue to a deck or patio space. Fill them with trailing house plants like Creeping Jenny or Devil’s Ivy and grow them to the ground. Modern outdoor planters: To pair well with the latest architectural trends, choose modern outdoor planters with clean lines and sleek designs. Rectangular outdoor planters: Rectangular outdoor planters make for excellent herb and vegetable gardens. One sizable rectangle is enough to plant a few varieties over multiple seasons. Perch a small one on your balcony to grow basil and change your fresh pizza game forever. Vintage outdoor planters: If you’re seeking a classic outdoor vibe, vintage outdoor planters give character to your space and transform it into a timeless storybook tale. Adding some vintage options can make your garden feel like an ancient palace or help you maintain that overgrown look you’ve totally been going for.

Outdoor planter materials

Metal, ceramics, and wood make up most outdoor planters. They’re designed robustly for outdoor conditions but can be used as interior decor just as easily: Metal planters are often treated to prevent rust and come in designs ranging from milk buckets of yore to tapered vases and aged bronze. Metal looks rustic in a garden and won’t rot or break easily. Ceramic planters offer a vast array of decorative options, like insect and animal shapes or the classic orange terracotta pot. Wood planters can be painted to add color to a space or stained to accent the wood grains against the soil. Wood is a great option for planters even if they aren’t housing plants—they look completely natural when filled with sand, pebbles, and rocks for a mini desert oasis or water feature.
