Better Homes & Gardens 22in Arnette Red Plastic Planter

This flower planter is so nice. I was looking for this color and something not so heavy. It had to have good drainage. I have used a lot of the clay pots in the past. They are just too heavy. Then after the dirt is added, I can't lift them. This one is so pretty and provides adequate drainage. I haven't chosen plastic in the past because they just look so cheap and break easy. This pot doesn't look like plastic. It looks like a quality ceramic pot. It is very light weight, even full of dirt. This will surely make my spring planting projects a lot easier. I put this one out on my porch and have already received many compliments. My neighbors think that it is a very heavy, very expensive ceramic planter. It slipped out of my wet hands and fell and it didn't even break!! I will be buying more and plan to line my sidewalks. Nothing really grows in my yard, even though I plant in good potting soil with fertilizer. These plantars provide a nice alternative for my yard. I am so happy that my yard will look so nice this year with plenty of colorful flowers in my colorful planters. I will be doing all of this same color.

This is a fairly larged sized planter with a wide rim that will handle a small topiary or a number of flowers. The color I ordered is an attractive dark red made to look like a shiny ceramic. There is nothing overwhelming about the design so it should blend in wherever you need it. It's big enough to make a nice show at your front door, but still small and light enough to bring inside if you need to. It's a lightweight sturdy plastic, which doesn't dry out as quickly as clay. Inside are 5 holes for drainage and an attached saucer for excess water. This will definitely help if you have a tendency to overwater your plants. I planted my shrimp plant and it really makes the red blooms "pop".There is still a lot of room around the rim, so I'm going to get coleus to plant around the edges. The reds should look great with the pot. I've learned that a complimentary planter can really make a difference. It's easy to grab around the middle to carry, I've already been carrying it all over the yard filled with soil. I have to give this 5 stars, I can't find anything wrong with it. For a practical planter, this is a good choice.
