Tall Cylinder Terrazzo Round Planter

Details at a Glance

Handcrafted terrazzo resists UV and moisture better than ceramic or unglazed terra-cotta, making this planter a reliable choice for sun-drenched patios or covered entryways. The Emissary Tall Cylinder Terrazzo Round Planter is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Choose from four sizes and two finishes to anchor a floor plan or layer across tabletops and deck corners.

How Does Terrazzo Hold Up in Direct Sun and Rain?

Terrazzo is a composite of marble chips, quartz, and concrete polished to a smooth finish, and it stands up to UV exposure without fading the way painted finishes do. The material resists moisture absorption, so you won't see the cracking or salt bloom common with unfinished concrete. Each piece is individually crafted in Thailand, and the speckled pattern masks minor weathering over time. Store this planter indoors during freezing weather to prevent frost damage -- terrazzo is weather-resistant, not freeze-proof.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes, if you live where temperatures drop below freezing. Terrazzo can crack when water trapped in the composite freezes and expands, so move the planter into a garage or covered porch before the first hard frost. In temperate climates with mild winters, it can stay out year-round. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth occasionally and skip chemical cleaners -- they dull the polished finish. The weights range from 8 to 23 pounds, so even the largest size is manageable for one person to relocate.

Where Does This Planter Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 20-inch size anchors an entryway with a tall fiddle-leaf fig or ornamental grass, while the 10-inch and 13-inch sizes cluster on a dining table or tiered plant stand for layered texture. Pair terrazzo with fiberglass or resin wicker containers from our outdoor planters collection for a mix of finishes that won't all age the same way. The neutral speckle in Terrazzo Black and Terrazzo White complements both modern metal frames and natural wood tones, so you can coordinate across seating and storage without matching everything identically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this planter stay outside all year?

It can in temperate climates with no freezing weather. In regions with frost, store it indoors to prevent cracking.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

No -- terrazzo's color comes from the embedded stone chips and concrete, not a painted coating, so UV won't bleach it.

How do I store it over winter in a cold climate?

Move the planter into a garage, covered porch, or basement before the first hard freeze, and leave it there until spring.

What size planter do I need for a mature fiddle-leaf fig?

The 16-inch or 20-inch diameter provides enough root space and base stability for a tree-sized plant.

Do outdoor planters need drainage holes?

Drainage holes prevent root rot. If your planter has none, add a gravel layer at the base and water sparingly.

Does the planter ship fully assembled?

Yes. It arrives ready to use with no assembly required, and free curbside delivery applies to all continental USA orders.
