Square 23"H Emerald Green Tall Outdoor Planter

Details at a Glance

Glazed ceramic holds up beautifully through spring, summer, and fall rain and sun -- the glaze resists moisture and UV exposure so the color stays true. This square tall outdoor planter stands 22.5 in. tall on an 8.5 in. square footprint and is finished in a glossy emerald green, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You'll bring it inside when hard frost threatens, which is standard for ceramic, then put it back out when the weather clears.

How Well Does Glazed Ceramic Handle Rain and Sun?

Kiln-fired ceramic with a glossy glaze stands up to rain and won't absorb water the way unglazed terra cotta does. The glaze also resists UV exposure, which keeps the emerald green finish from fading through a full outdoor season. That said, ceramic can crack when water trapped in micro-fissures freezes and expands, so this planter is engineered for three-season outdoor use -- spring through fall -- not year-round freezing exposure.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes -- when nighttime temps drop below freezing, move this planter indoors or into a garage or shed. It's not that the glaze fails; it's that any moisture inside the ceramic body will freeze, expand, and crack the wall. Store it empty and dry, and it'll be ready to go back out in spring. A damp cloth is all you need to clean the glazed surface; skip harsh chemicals that can dull the finish over time.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The tall square profile works beautifully flanking an entryway -- a symmetrical pair frames a front door or patio threshold with bold color. It's also strong enough at 22.5 in. tall to anchor a corner of a seating area or stand solo on a covered porch, especially when you fill it with a tall ornamental grass or small tree. Indoors, it's equally at home in a sunroom or hallway; the transitional style bridges contemporary and traditional spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this planter stay outside all year?

No -- ceramic planters should be stored indoors when temperatures drop below freezing to prevent cracking from freeze-thaw cycles.

Will the emerald green finish fade in direct sun?

The glossy glaze resists UV exposure, so the color stays vibrant through spring, summer, and fall outdoor use.

How do I store it over winter?

Empty the planter, wipe it dry, and move it into a garage, shed, or indoor room where it won't be exposed to freezing temperatures.

How heavy is a 23-inch ceramic planter?

This planter weighs 37 lbs empty, which is typical for kiln-fired ceramic; a fiberglass planter of the same size would weigh around 15--20 lbs.

Can I use this planter indoors if it doesn't have a drainage hole?

Yes -- add a layer of gravel at the bottom or drop in a nursery pot insert to manage water and protect your floor.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, and it ships free via curbside delivery to the continental USA; there's no assembly required.
