About Venice Planter
Height is what you are buying here. At 710 mm the Venice lifts a shrub well clear of the paving beside a door or along a boundary, while 560 mm of width keeps the footprint tight enough for a courtyard path. The taper is gentle and the colour neutral, so it reads as comfortably against rendered walls as it does in an older Perth garden.
Kiln-fired ceramic is the reason it can stay out. The clay is fired hard enough to take direct summer sun, salt-carrying breeze and a run of cold nights without flaking or fading, and the neutral tone does not need sealing to hold. Empty, it is a two-person lift; once the damp mix is in, it stops moving. Pot it where it will stand.

Common questions
What can I plant in it?
Depth is what decides it, and there is 710 mm of it behind a 560 mm opening. That is room for deep-rooting ornamental shrubs, a standard ficus, dwarf citrus, a weeping maple, or a mixed perennial arrangement with space to establish.
How should I set it up on a balcony or deck?
Check the base drainage hole is clear before you pot, lay permeable mesh over it so the mix cannot wash through, then sit the planter on rubber pads or pot feet. The gap underneath lets water run into a saucer or away through the decking instead of pooling and marking the boards.
Will it hold up outdoors year-round in Perth?
Yes. The clay is fired hard enough to take UV, coastal moisture and the swing between hot days and cold nights, so the body keeps its strength and the neutral tone stays even from one season to the next.
