Introducing Our Jumbo Natural Slate Planters

Posted on 20th May 2025

One glance, and you’ll understand – these aren’t just planters. They’re architectural features, grounded in natural slate and crafted to command attention. Whether flanking an entranceway or softening the lines of a modern courtyard, our new Jumbo Natural Slate Planters bring gravitas and grace to every setting they touch.

Built in the UK with a sturdy 14mm composite core and wrapped in authentic slate veneer, these planters are designed for lasting performance and timeless appeal. Each one is unique, with the subtle variation only real stone can offer. With a seamless, sealed finish and adjustable stainless-steel feet, they’re as practical as they are beautiful.

Flexible by Design

Available in a range of sizes, these planters adapt effortlessly to your space and vision. From city balconies to sprawling terraces, their bold silhouette offers endless design opportunities.

What to Plant in a Jumbo Slate Planter?

Their generous depth and sturdy structure make them perfect for:

• Statement Trees – Olive, bay, or dwarf citrus trees create instant impact.

• Architectural Grasses – Think phormium, miscanthus, or black mondo grass for contemporary texture.

• Dramatic Florals – Agapanthus, alliums, or canna lilies add height and seasonal interest.

• Herb Borders – Combine rosemary, lavender, and thyme for a fragrant, tactile edge.

• Succulent Displays – For minimalist elegance, mix low-maintenance succulents in varying tones and textures.

Design Possibilities: More Than Just a Planter

These slate vessels suit a wide spectrum of aesthetics:

• Modern Minimalism – Their clean lines and deep black finish create striking contrast against light stone patios or whitewashed walls.

• Naturalistic Gardens – Slate’s raw beauty complements soft planting schemes and gravel pathways.

• Urban Luxe – Use in pairs at entrances or beside seating areas for a polished, purposeful look.

• Commercial & Public Spaces – Ideal for offices, hotels, and retail developments where durability and visual impact are key.
