Best planters and troughs, compared

From window boxes to waist-high troughs, planters range from a fiver to a few hundred pounds without the listings ever explaining why. We compare planters and troughs across the UK retailers we track, ranked by value and specification, with live prices and the price history to tell a real discount from a permanent 'offer'.

Independent comparison: we may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It never affects how we rank products — see our method.

FAQs

What depth do I need?
Herbs and bedding plants manage in 15–20cm; vegetables want 30cm+; shrubs and small trees need 45cm and serious volume. Depth, not width, is what limits what you can grow.
Do wooden planters rot?
Untreated softwood does within a few seasons. Pressure-treated timber, a plastic liner, and feet to lift the base off wet paving are the difference between three years and fifteen.
