FAQs
Can I leave this planter outside during winter?
Yes, the compressed sandstone and concrete construction is designed to be weather-resistant and durable for year-round outdoor use.
Does the planter come with a base or tray?
No, this is a standalone urn-style planter. For indoor use, you will need to purchase a separate saucer.
Is the planter very heavy?
Because it is made from solid stone and concrete, it has a significant weight, which provides excellent stability against tipping over.
What type of plants work best in this urn?
Large feature plants such as small shrubs, topiary trees, or cascading flowers work best to complement the classic Greek silhouette.
Where is this product made?
The Blakeway Stone Greek Patterned Planter Pot is hand-crafted in Somerset, United Kingdom.
Troubleshooting
Drainage hole becomes blocked by soil
Clear the blockage using a small stick or wire, then place a piece of permeable landscape fabric or a large stone over the hole before filling with soil.
White marks or staining appearing on the surface
This is often efflorescence, a natural mineral deposit. It can be gently brushed off with a dry, soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before adding plants, ensure the planter is positioned in its final location to avoid unnecessary heavy lifting. To maintain the life of the pot, use a layer of gravel or pot feet at the base to ensure the drainage hole remains clear and prevents soil compaction. If using the pot indoors, place a protective saucer underneath to collect excess water. To clean, simply wipe down with a soft brush and water; avoid using harsh chemicals or power washers, as these may erode the antique-look finish over time.
