Eichholtz Zanzibar Planter

Yes, the Zanzibar Planter is constructed from durable concrete designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, if you live in a climate with freezing temperatures, we recommend elevating the planter slightly or ensuring proper drainage to prevent water accumulation and potential cracking.

Given its substantial concrete construction and generous dimensions of 32.28 inches in diameter, this piece is quite heavy. This weight is actually an advantage, as it ensures the planter remains stable and secure even in windy outdoor environments.

The planter does not come with a pre-drilled drainage hole. If you plan to use it outdoors, we recommend drilling a hole in the base or using a layer of drainage material like gravel at the bottom to protect your plants from root rot.

The textured surface adds visual depth, which helps camouflage minor dust or debris. While the cream finish is neutral and versatile, it is a porous concrete material, so it may develop a natural patina over time if exposed to the elements.

With a height of over 34 inches, this planter is designed for large statement plants. It is ideal for small trees, large palms, or oversized architectural shrubs that require significant root space and a substantial base for balance.
