Garden urn planters create vertical interest in your container garden
When planning your container garden, don’t forget to create a special place for urn planters to add a dramatic or elegant focal point, or to add height or variety to a planter arrangement on your patio, balcony, deck or landscaped area.
Planter urns come in a wide variety of materials including terracotta, fiberstone or resin and cast stone. Styles range from ancient Greek handmade clay urns, to the country elegance of Tuscan urns to ornate classical Italian urns.
A pair of statuesque garden urns at your front entrance or on your patio can transform the look of your home instantly. Explore the growing selection of lightweight resin or fiberstone planter urns if you want to place them on a front porch or deck.
Characteristics of Garden Urn Planters
Benefits:

Considerations:
- stone, concrete and terracotta garden urns can be very heavy when fully planted
