Acer Fibreglass Planter

Description

The Acer is a planter that understands proportion. Its clean, round form — straight-sided with a gentle taper — has a quiet architectural confidence that works as naturally in a contemporary courtyard as it does flanking a classic entrance. Some are wider and lower, some narrower and taller; all share the same considered elegance and the kind of craftsmanship that reveals itself on closer inspection.

What sets the Acer apart is what you cannot see. The colouring runs through the entire material — not applied to the surface, but woven into the fibreglass itself — so there is no fading, no peeling, and no gradual loss of finish over time. The upper rim has been turned back twice, a detail as functional as it is beautiful, giving the planter a substantial, timeless edge that elevates it well above its competitors.

Backed by a five-year warranty and available in a range of sizes and colours, the Acer is a planter you buy once and keep for a very long time.

Caragh Garden Notebook

Planting: The Acer’s clean, straight-sided form suits a wide range of plants beautifully  from clipped topiary and specimen shrubs to ornamental grasses, bamboos, and statement trees. Use a quality loam-based compost for best results  and ensure drainage is unobstructed at the base.

Sizing: The Acer family spans a range of proportions  from wider, lower profiles that sit close to the ground with a grounded, settled presence, to narrower, taller forms that draw the eye upward and suit slender, architectural plantings. Check individual dimensions in the dropdown menu to find the right proportions for your space and plant.

Colour Through the Material: Unlike many fibreglass planters where colour is applied as a surface coating, the Acer’s colouring runs through the full depth of the material. This means the finish is genuinely long-lasting, resistant to chipping, fading, and the gradual wear that affects surface-finished alternatives. The colour you choose on day one is the colour you will have in year five.

Cleaning & Care: We recommend cleaning at least twice a year to maintain the finish and appearance. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use steel wool, sandpaper, solvents, or any abrasive cleaning materials, as these will damage the surface. Avoid pressure washing. A gentle approach is all this planter needs  and all it will ever need.

Warranty: The Acer Fibreglass Planter is backed by a five-year warranty, a reflection of the confidence we place in the quality of these planters and the standard of their manufacture.

Styling Notes: The Acer’s clean, architectural form works beautifully in multiples — a row of identical planters creates strong rhythm and structure along a terrace, pathway, or boundary. Mix heights within the same colour for a layered, gallery-like display. The round, tapered silhouette pairs naturally with the Napoli and Lucia pots from the Oberon Collection for a cohesive planting scheme across any outdoor space.
