The 62L Anthracite Flower Box is a large rectangular outdoor planter measuring 86cm wide, 38cm high and 30cm deep, providing generous growing space for flowers, herbs, suitable vegetables and mixed seasonal planting displays.
With a substantial 62-litre capacity, this planter provides considerably more root space than a conventional small window box. Its size makes it suitable for creating a complete planting scheme in a single container rather than relying on several individual pots.
The long 86cm rectangular format provides generous planting width while retaining a relatively compact 30cm front-to-back footprint. This makes the flower box particularly useful along patios, paths, walls and fences, or anywhere a long linear planter works well.
Finished in contemporary anthracite, the planter provides a modern neutral backdrop for green foliage and colourful flowers. The dark finish works particularly well in contemporary gardens, landscaped areas and modern patio settings.
Plastic construction keeps the planter considerably easier to handle than an equivalent large stone or ceramic container, particularly before filling.
Why choose the 62L Anthracite Flower Box?
- Large 62L capacity - generous growing volume for substantial container planting.
- 86cm wide - provides space for multiple plants within one coordinated display.
- 38cm high - useful depth for developing root systems and larger planting schemes.
- 30cm front-to-back depth - substantial growing space without an excessively deep footprint.
- Contemporary anthracite finish - modern neutral colour that complements foliage and flowers.
- Plastic construction - practical to handle compared with similarly sized stone or ceramic containers.
- Rectangular format - useful alongside walls, fences, paths and patio edges.
- Ideal for mixed planting - combine upright, mounding and trailing plants.
- Suitable for edible planting - useful for appropriate herbs, salads and compact vegetables.
- Reusable season after season - replant to create changing displays throughout the year.
Generous 62-litre growing volume
A larger volume of growing medium gives plants more room for root development and makes it possible to create more substantial planting combinations than would be practical in a small window box.
At 62 litres, this flower box can accommodate multiple plants while providing a useful reservoir of growing medium, moisture and nutrients.
This makes it particularly useful for displays intended to establish and develop throughout a complete growing season.
What can you grow in a 62L flower box?
The generous rectangular planting area gives plenty of scope for ornamental and edible container gardening.
- Summer bedding plants
- Trailing flowers
- Compact ornamental grasses
- Herbs
- Salad crops
- Suitable compact vegetables
- Seasonal bulbs
- Mixed foliage plants
- Patio planting combinations
- Seasonal retail displays
When planning a mixed display, consider the mature size of each plant rather than filling every available space immediately. Allowing room for development helps prevent excessive competition as plants establish.
Create impressive mixed planting displays
The 86cm width makes this flower box particularly well suited to combining different plant forms in a single display.
Upright plants can provide height and structure, lower-growing varieties can fill the centre of the arrangement, and trailing plants can be positioned around the edges to soften the planter as they develop.
Contrasting foliage, flower colours and growth habits can therefore be combined to create a display with interest across the entire length of the planter.
Contemporary anthracite finish
Anthracite provides a modern alternative to traditional terracotta-coloured planters. The dark neutral finish allows foliage and flower colours to stand out while working comfortably alongside many contemporary garden materials.
It is particularly suited to modern patios, rendered walls, paving, decking and landscaped spaces where a darker container provides a clean, understated appearance.
The neutral colour also makes the planter versatile when seasonal planting schemes are changed throughout the year.
Ideal for patios, paths & garden spaces
The long rectangular footprint allows the flower box to introduce planting into areas where a round planter may use space less efficiently.
It can be positioned alongside suitable walls and fences, beside paths or around patios and paved areas.
Multiple flower boxes can also be positioned together to create a longer planting feature while retaining the flexibility of separate containers.
Planting your 62L flower box
Choose a growing medium appropriate to the plants being grown. For many seasonal displays, a good-quality multipurpose or specialist container compost provides a suitable starting point.
Fill the planter evenly without excessively compressing the growing medium. Arrange plants according to their mature size and growth habit, firm them gently into place and water thoroughly after planting.
A 62-litre planter can become extremely heavy once filled with moist compost and plants, so position the flower box in its intended location before completing the planting wherever possible.
Watering container plants
Although the large compost volume provides more moisture storage than a small planter, established plants can still use considerable quantities of water during warm, sunny or windy weather.
Check the growing medium regularly rather than watering solely according to a fixed schedule. Requirements will depend on the plants, weather, location and stage of growth.
Apply water across the full planting area rather than concentrating irrigation in one section of the box, particularly when several plants share the container.
Feeding plants in large containers
Container-grown plants have access only to the nutrients available within the growing medium, and additional feeding may therefore become necessary as plants establish and grow.
Choose a fertiliser appropriate to the crops being grown and follow the manufacturer's application instructions. Flowering ornamentals, herbs and vegetable crops may require different feeding programmes.
Removing spent flowers and damaged foliage can also help keep ornamental displays attractive throughout the season.
