The Collections
Pots and planters for flowers and plants
Flower pots get chosen for the bloom, not the pot. Annual colour and cut flowers want a wide rim and drainage that clears fast, which is why low bowls and flared urns are the shapes customers keep coming back for through spring. On a balcony, weight decides first: marine-grade fibreglass is the lightest in our range, 70 to 80 per cent under cast concrete when empty, so a fibreglass flower box leaves you weight to spend on soil and plants rather than the container. Bring a photo of the spot and we will match the pot to what you are planting.
New arrivals
What is on the showroom floor changes through the year. Water features and linear troughs are the quickest to sell, and Atlantis clay arrives in small kiln runs where no two pieces carry quite the same patina. If you saw something here six months ago and want it now, ring the showroom before you drive out.
Material guidance
Materials and finishes
Choosing a material comes down to where the pot is going, how you want it to look beside the planting, and how heavy it can be once it is filled. Here is how the six ranges differ, and where each one earns its place.
| Material / Range | Key characteristics and site suitability |
|---|---|
| Polystone Resin | Crushed stone bound in polymer resin, finished smooth like poured concrete at roughly one-third the weight. Bowls, cubes, egg planters, cylinders and tubs in Cement Grey, Dark Grey, White, Charcoal Black and Brown Terrazzo, with Matte Black, High Gloss and Wood Grain on special order. |
| Fibreglass | The lightest in our range, 70 to 80 per cent under cast concrete when empty. Choose it when a pot has to come up a flight of stairs, through a narrow side return, or onto a balcony where weight matters. Classical urns, cubes and linear troughs, finished in UV-stable two-pack polyurethane. |
| Light Stone | Portland cement, stone aggregate and fibreglass webbing, giving a textured masonry surface you can still lift. Carries the widest shape range we stock, from low bowls to screening troughs. |
| Cimstone Lite | The same lightweight stone composite approach, centred on the Oros in Natural Stone Grey. |
| TOV lightweight planters | Long troughs and boundary dividers with internal bracing that stops a two-metre sidewall bowing under wet soil. Finished here in Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen, matched to Colorbond on request. |
| Atlantis terracotta | High-fired terracotta with a kiln-fired mineral crust. Heavy, and that is the point: the weight holds it down when the Fremantle Doctor comes through, and thick walls hold root temperature through a 40 degree C afternoon. Twelve profiles, each one patterned differently by the firing. |
| Weathering steel | Straightcurve edging that rusts to a stable patina and then stops. No painting, no sealing. Bends to a curve or locks straight for beds, paths, gravel edges and raised borders. |
Practical guidance
Plan before you plant
Choosing a pot for Perth conditions means thinking about more than how it looks. Planted weight, meaning pot, soil, drainage gravel and mature plant together, is worth knowing when you’re planning the layout: on a balcony or rooftop, check the floor rating before you fill it, and on a suspended slab have your builder confirm the load. Material decides how much heat reaches the root zone on a 40°C afternoon. Drainage decides whether roots survive a wet winter.
Our potting mix and planter volume calculator estimates soil volume in litres and bag counts for rectangular, round and tapered containers. Use it before you order soil, and before you settle on a large pot for a rooftop where every kilogram counts. A 500-litre trough runs 600 to 750 kg once saturated, so position it empty and level it first.
Selection guidance
For Perth homes and commercial projects
Homeowners use our range to update a single courtyard pot, build a poolside planting scheme, or install a water feature that runs year-round without mains plumbing. Landscape designers and architects specify our large containers and commercial-grade troughs for multi-residential developments, hospitality venues and corporate entries.
Founder Barry Levin leads the showroom team, and the advice covers what really matters once the pot is in place: how the material behaves, UV exposure, drainage, planted weight, finish, scale and how the pot will reach the spot you have in mind. Perth sun, reflected heat off paving and pool water, wind, salt air, water access and the size of the mature plant all change which container stays practical. Bring photos and rough measurements and we will work through it with you.
Design services and on-site consultation
For projects that need more than a single container, we come to you. We go through layout, plant and root volume, drainage, planted weight, finish and how the pots will reach the garden, then write up a proposal you can hand to a builder or a landscaper. Custom moulds and Technical Data Sheets are available where a specification calls for them.

What our customers say
Extended range
Outdoor decor beyond the pot
Containers are most of what we do, but not all of it. The rest of the range finishes the space around them.
Outdoor wall art
Laser-cut and gas-cut metal panels in weathered rust and metallic silver, from single accent pieces up to 2.4-metre feature screens. Mount them on 15 to 20 mm standoffs and the cut-outs throw shadow lines across the wall behind. Suits rendered boundary walls, timber fences and interior feature walls.
Water features
Self-contained plug-and-go fountains and custom units built in our Malaga workshop with pumps from Western Australian suppliers. Fill the reservoir, submerge the pump, plug it in. No mains plumbing and no excavation.
Garden edging
Straightcurve weathering steel in modular lengths for clean borders, raised beds and soil retention on sloping blocks.

Common questions
Common questions
Where can I buy pots for plants in Perth?
Come and see us at 65 Holder Way, Malaga WA 6090, where more than 200 styles are on display, including garden pots and planters, urns, troughs, water features and wall art. Ask us about Perth metropolitan delivery for anything you buy in store or online.
What materials are best for outdoor planters in Perth?
It depends on where the pot is going. Marine-grade fibreglass is the lightest in our range, which suits balconies and rooftops. Polystone Resin gives you a smooth concrete look at roughly one-third the weight of precast concrete. Light Stone composite has a textured masonry surface and the widest choice of shapes we stock. Atlantis high-fired terracotta is heavy, so it stays put in coastal wind, and its thick walls keep root temperatures steadier at ground level. Tell us about your spot and we will help you choose.
Do you stock extra large pots for outdoor plants?
Yes. Our oversize planters collection includes Giant Egg Planters up to 1,500 mm high, Cube Planters on Feet up to 1,100 mm, and linear troughs up to 2,000 mm long, all in composite materials light enough for two people to carry through a standard side gate.
What is the weight difference between Polystone Resin and solid concrete pots?
Polystone Resin planters weigh roughly 65% to 70% less than an equivalent solid concrete vessel when empty. A 60 cm Polystone Resin cube is a two-person carry through a side gate, which the same cube in concrete would not be. That difference matters most on balconies, rooftop gardens and upper levels, where it pays to check the floor rating before you fill a large pot.
Can outdoor pots handle Perth coastal conditions without sealing?
Marine-grade fibreglass and Polystone Resin composites do not need sealing for coastal use. Atlantis high-fired terracotta goes through specialised high-temperature reduction firing and holds up well near the coast. Light Stone composite is cement-based and also handles coastal exposure without extra treatment. Tell us your suburb and how exposed the spot is, and we will point you to the right material.
Can you help with commercial planter projects?
Yes. We work with landscape architects, interior designers and commercial builders on project specifications, including custom Dulux colour matching, volume pricing, delivery timing and Technical Data Sheets where they are required. Send through your brief and timeline and we will take it from there.
Can planters be custom finished?
Yes. Selected finishing is done in-house at our Malaga workshop. We colour match Dulux Weathershield across the fibreglass and composite ranges, and can match Colorbond shades including Monument, Surfmist and Woodland Grey. Custom sizing is available on selected ranges.
Do your water features come ready to use?
Most of our water features are self-contained plug-and-go units. Fill the reservoir, submerge the pump and connect it to a standard outdoor power outlet. No mains plumbing and no excavation. We also build custom water features to order in our Malaga workshop using bowls, urns and locally sourced pumps.
