Description
A sleek, rectangular black fibrestone trough planter — lightweight, durable, and perfect for clean, linear planting on patios, balconies and along pathways.
Full Product Description
If you love structure in the garden, a good trough planter is everything. The Blackwater Trough Planter is designed for simple, linear planting that instantly makes a space feel more intentional — ideal for terraces, balconies, steps, and along pathways.
Its elongated rectangular shape is perfect for compact to medium planting schemes: think a row of clipped evergreens, soft grasses moving in the breeze, or a seasonal run of colour that you can refresh through the year. Finished in a classic deep black, it’s a brilliant backdrop that makes foliage look richer and flowers feel brighter.
Made from fibrestone, it has the look of a substantial planter while staying lighter and easier to position as your layout evolves.
Indoor note: planters are designed to be plant-waterproof, but because they’re handmade we recommend using a plastic inner liner indoors, especially on wooden floors.

Best planted with…
-
Evergreen structure (year-round, tidy):
Buxus alternatives (if you’re steering away from box), Ilex crenata, or Taxus in a clean line, underplanted with creeping thyme or Vinca for softness. -
Modern movement (low effort, high impact):
Stipa tenuissima or Pennisetum with lavender and a few alliums for that airy, contemporary look. -
Seasonal colour swap (easy refresh):
Spring bulbs + violas, then summer petunias/verbena, then autumn heuchera + cyclamen, finished with winter skimmia or small conifers. -
Mediterranean feel (sunny spots):
Lavender, rosemary, thyme, with a few Santolina or Helichrysum for that silvery, drought-tolerant palette.
