When you think of planters for gardens, flower pots or terracotta may spring to mind. But things have moved on substantially.

Planters come in all shapes and sizes, and there is a vast range of new materials on the market.

If you have any seeds of doubt about planters for garden, just think of their many uses. They are ideal for adding structure, creating boundaries, or simply add personality to a garden.

Below, we look at some of the best planters for gardens.

Pot of Love

Thanks to the Pot of Love’s versatile shape and traditional rococo style, this ice bucket can also be used a planter. This could be a focal point for the garden and would just need a simple green leaf plant to complement the bold structure and style.

Luxury Planters

These elegant planters for gardens would look great lined up symmetrically to create division in a space. We think they would look great with short grass on top. They also have a gloss appearance, giving that extra luxury and bouncing light around the garden.

Celso Corten Steel

This planter is made of Corten steel, which gives a good industrial look against some green planting. The orange tones add a winter warmth, and the natural fixed coating of rust protects against any more corrosion. A great practical and traditional choice.
