About Rome Planter
| Format | Size |
|---|---|
| Large | 530W x 700H |
| Medium | 360W x 510H |
The Rome Planter from our Atlantis collection delivers a balanced, upright profile suited to garden walkways, courtyards, and patio settings. Handcrafted from dense, kiln-fired terracotta, this container withstands direct Western Australian sun and coastal breezes while offering generous vertical planting depth for deep-rooting botanical species.
Available in two functional sizes—530W x 700H and 360W x 510H—the Rome Planter provides design flexibility for varied architectural spaces. Its gently tapered silhouette maximises internal soil volume while maintaining a compact ground footprint, leaving walkways unobstructed. Thick terracotta walls insulate root zones from extreme ambient heat and allow natural oxygen diffusion through the clay body, supporting long-term plant health.

How do I determine which Rome Planter size suits my space?
The 530W x 700H model provides 700 mm of planting depth, making it well-suited for deep-rooting shrubs, dwarf citrus, or standard topiary framing entryways. The 360W x 510H model offers a manageable scale for flanking veranda steps, patio dining corners, or grouped container clusters.
How should I manage drainage on paved surfaces?
Place terracotta pot feet under the base to lift the container slightly off the ground. This keeps the drainage hole open, allows irrigation water to drain freely, and prevents trapped moisture from marking paved or tiled surfaces.
Can the Rome Planter withstand full Western Australian sun?
Yes. High-temperature kiln firing creates a vitrified, weather-hardy clay body that will not soften, delaminate, or fade under intense UV radiation. The natural thermal mass of thick terracotta buffers root systems against rapid temperature swings.
What soil mix should I use in these upright planters?
Use a high-grade coarse outdoor potting mix with added wetting agents and perlite or pumice to ensure consistent drainage throughout the full depth of the container. Avoid heavy garden topsoil, which can compact and impede aeration.
