The H Potter Whitmore 36" Tall Planter combines dramatic height with a generous planting area for entrances, porches, patios, decks, balconies, and interior spaces. Its 14.5-inch-square top gradually tapers to an 11-inch-square base, creating an architectural silhouette that feels substantial without becoming visually heavy.
The warm antique copper finish gives the metal surface richness and depth while providing a versatile backdrop for topiary, ornamental grasses, flowering plants, evergreens, branches, and seasonal arrangements. Display one as a statement planter or use a matching pair to frame a front door, walkway, garage, fireplace, or staircase.
A removable planting insert approximately 12 inches deep keeps plants and soil near the top of the planter, making planting and seasonal changes easier. Plants, flowers, soil, branches, and decorative arrangements shown in photography are not included. This listing is for the planter and removable planting insert only, plus a drip tray.
Architectural Height & Generous Proportions
The Whitmore combines three feet of height with a wider top opening, giving you more room to create layered plantings while maintaining a refined tapered profile.
- 36-inch height creates strong vertical presence.
- 14.5-inch-square top offers room for fuller arrangements.
- 11-inch-square base keeps the footprint streamlined.
- Tapered square design complements both traditional and contemporary settings.

- Approximately 12-inch-deep removable planting insert
- Insert includes drainage holes

The Whitmore is especially effective in locations where scale matters. At 36 inches tall, it helps frame a doorway or architectural feature, while the broad upper planting area gives flowers and greenery enough room to create a lush, finished display.
Outdoor Placement
- Frame a front entrance with a matching pair.
- Place beside a garage, gate, or walkway.
- Add structure to a porch, patio, or deck.
- Use in an outdoor room where a smaller planter may get visually lost.
Indoor Placement
- Create a dramatic botanical display in a foyer.
- Add height beside a fireplace or staircase.
- Fill a large corner or architectural niche.
- Use with faux greenery or decorative branches for low-maintenance styling.
The Whitmore can remain part of your home or landscape throughout the year. Instead of thinking of it as a summer flower pot, use the antique copper planter as a permanent decorative foundation and refresh the arrangement as the seasons change.
Spring & Summer
- Layer flowering annuals with trailing greenery.
- Combine ornamental grasses with colorful flowers.
- Use topiary or boxwood for a structured entrance.
- Create a lush tropical foliage arrangement for patios and decks.
Fall & Winter
- Fill with autumn grasses and tall branches.
- Combine evergreens, pinecones, and winter berries.
- Add natural twigs or decorative seasonal stems.
- Use faux greenery or illuminated branches for holiday displays.
The removable planting insert makes seasonal transitions easier because your arrangement stays near the top rather than extending through the full height of the planter.
The Whitmore includes a custom removable planting insert approximately 12 inches deep. The insert provides ample planting depth while reducing the amount of soil needed compared with filling the entire 36-inch planter body.
Drainage holes in the insert allow excess water to escape. The planter itself also includes a drainage opening and grate at the base.
If additional stability is helpful in an exposed outdoor location, a few rocks may be placed in the lower portion of the planter beneath the insert while maintaining drainage through the base.
For indoor placement, use incuded drip tray to help protect flooring and surrounding surfaces.
The Whitmore makes a substantial gift for someone who enjoys gardening, home design, landscaping, or outdoor entertaining. Its architectural height and timeless antique copper finish make it an especially memorable choice for a new home or milestone occasion.
Consider the Whitmore for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, Mother's Day, retirements, new-home celebrations, or client gifts.
Give the planter on its own or personalize the presentation by adding a plant or seasonal arrangement chosen for the recipient. Plants and decorative arrangements are not included with purchase.
The Whitmore is crafted from metal and finished to create H Potter's distinctive antique copper appearance. The finish is applied by hand and protected with a clear coating, giving the surface warmth, depth, and subtle individual character.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
- Water exposure: Minerals, chlorine, fluoride, fertilizers, soil additives, and repeated runoff may affect the finish over time.
- Not designed as a fountain: Avoid continuous standing, circulating, or overflowing water.
- Winter care: Indoor storage during severe winter conditions is optional and may help preserve the appearance of the finish.
H Potter has been designing distinctive home and garden products since 1997. Our planters combine thoughtful proportions, practical planting features, substantial construction, and finishes designed to bring lasting character to indoor and outdoor spaces.
