Massarelli's Castaway Planter

Because of its significant weight, it is best to place the planter in its final location before filling it with soil or plants. If you need to move it later, we recommend using a heavy-duty furniture dolly or asking for assistance to avoid injury or damage to your patio surface.

Yes, like most high-quality cast stone planters, this model includes a drainage hole at the base to prevent water from pooling and damaging your plant roots. If you plan to use it indoors, you will need to place a saucer underneath to catch excess water.

Cast stone is durable, but it is porous and can absorb moisture. To prevent cracking during winter, ensure the planter is elevated off the ground using pot feet or bricks to allow for proper drainage and airflow, or move it to a sheltered area if you live in a region with harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

With an 18.5-inch height and 19-inch diameter, this planter is ideal for larger perennials, small shrubs, or ornamental grasses. It provides enough root depth to support plants that need more stability and soil volume than standard annuals.

Cast stone is designed to age naturally. Over time, you can expect the finish to develop a unique patina, which may include subtle color variations or moss growth depending on your local climate, adding to its classic, weathered aesthetic.
