Looking to make your plant display a conversation piece? You’ll find plenty of creative options that can suit different spaces and styles.

• Animal-shaped pots (turtles, owls, dachshunds) for playful accents.
• Face/head planters that double as art.
• Book-shaped ceramics for shelves and desktops.
• Statement shapes like cowboy hats, pumpkins, or dragon heads.
• Concrete low bowls for succulents and bonsai.

For indoor spots, add a saucer to catch excess water, and consider planters with drainage holes. Outdoors, durable resin or concrete can help handle the elements. Mixing sizes and textures can create a curated look without overwhelming your space.

You can browse unique styles right on Walmart’s Patio & Garden pages.

• Search “unique planters” to view the topic collection.
• Use filters like Garden Center or Patio & Outdoor Decor to narrow by style.
• Check product details for size, opening diameter, drainage, and material.
• Look for pickup or delivery options available in your area.
• Read customer reviews for practical planting tips.

Selection and availability can vary by location and season. Saving items to your cart or a list can make it easier to compare designs and decide what fits your space.

Unusual can be fun—and plant-friendly—when the item is designed as a planter.

• Novelty shapes like jeans or rain boots add whimsy.
• Book-styled pots fit neatly on shelves.
• Face and animal planters create sculptural focal points.
• Seasonal motifs, such as pumpkins or oranges, bring color.

Choose containers with a drainage hole, or use a liner and a thin layer of gravel to improve airflow. Materials like ceramic, resin, plastic, terra cotta, and concrete are common. If repurposing anything, avoid items that may leach chemicals or lack ventilation, and protect indoor surfaces with saucers.

Several trends are showing up across garden planters:

• Sculptural statements—face and animal designs—for instant personality.
• Textured ceramics (ribbed, checkered, medallion) and glossy finishes.
• Tall, lightweight planters with trays or integrated drainage for easy care.
• Concrete low bowls for succulents and shallow-rooted plants.
• Seasonal themes and colors, from sunrise gradients to pumpkins.
• Multi-function decor like planter statues with solar lighting.

Mixing heights and materials can help you create layered visual interest indoors or outdoors. Trends evolve, so browsing current collections and customer photos may offer fresh inspiration tailored to your space.

The right size depends on your plant and placement.

• Measure the nursery pot; a new container that’s 1–2 inches wider works for small plants. Larger plants may benefit from 2–4 inches more.
• Shallow bowls suit succulents and bonsai; tall planters fit deep roots or entryway displays.
• Check opening diameter and height to match your plant’s footprint and growth.
• Prefer planters with drainage holes and use a saucer for indoor surfaces.
• Consider material and weight—light resin is easier to move; concrete adds stability outdoors.

These guidelines can help you select a size that supports your plant’s needs in your specific environment.
