About Egg Planters
The widest point of an egg planter sits at mid-height, not at the rim. That one curve does two jobs. It takes the hard edge off rendered walls, retaining courses and paved pool surrounds, and it gives roots more room below the surface than the opening at the top would suggest.
Polystone Resin is what makes the shape practical. It reads as masonry from two metres away, yet the smaller sizes can still be lifted and repositioned by one person partway through a planting job. The composite does not draw in water from routine irrigation, and it holds its rigidity season after season through Perth summer heat and coastal wind, indoors or out.
Sizes step up in five stages: CG5008XL/40 (40 x 34), CG5008XL/50 (50 x 42), CG5008XL/63 (63 x 52), CG5008XL/75 (75 x 63) and CG5008XL/90 (90 x 75). Anything bigger in the same silhouette takes you to the Extra Large Egg Planter or the Giant Egg Planter. If you are grouping them, we would take three consecutive sizes rather than three at random — the step between them then looks deliberate instead of accidental. Largest at the back with the upright specimen, the two smaller ones forward with something that spills. The rest of the shape family sits in our Polystone Resin Planters collection. If you are matching a pot you already own, or sizing to one particular corner, contact us about a product or project.
Common questions
What plants suit the oval shape?
The wide middle carries a single upright specimen well — dwarf citrus, a fiddle-leaf fig indoors, an olive, a flowering camellia. Because the sides swell before they turn back in, there is also room at the rim for an underplanting: dichondra, creeping thyme, or trailing ivy left to spill over the edge.
Which sizes work together in a cluster?
Three consecutive sizes — 75 x 63, 63 x 52 and 50 x 42 — set out as a triangle. Largest goes to the back corner and takes the upright plant. Keep the mounding or cascading foliage in the two forward vessels so nothing at the front is hidden by anything behind it.
