Urbane style

Planters of refined beauty and quality set special accents on the terrace, in courtyards or gardens for generations to come. Suitable for use all year round, Antony planters showcase flowers, grasses and small shrubs in selected locations. The handsome planters are meticulously handcrafted in a manufactory near Dresden.

Exceptionally high-quality aluminium with a powder coating, sophisticated design, and an ingenious system to prevent waterlogging and provide protection from frost, ensure that the beauty and quality of Antony planters will delight their owners well into the future.

Proven functionality

All Antony Petit planters are supplied with a fleece cover, a drainage layer of lava stones, and an inlay made of synthetic material with a water drainage system that protects the plants from waterlogging. A blind plug allows the planter to be used indoors. The particularly resistant aluminium used for the frame is absolutely weatherproof and reliably withstands moisture and permafrost. The lower planting height, in comparison with the large model of the collection, is especially suitable for plants with shallower root growth. They must be protected from frost in winter.

Winter protection for sensitive plants

Non-hardy potted plants must be brought indoors before the frost period begins. Some Mediterranean plants such as olive, agapanthus, fig or oleander can withstand temperatures as low as minus five degrees and can therefore remain outdoors until November. An ideal winter quarter for these species would be a greenhouse or conservatory. A cool, bright room, a stairwell or a cellar with good ventilation, also provide reliable conditions for overwintering. During their dormant phase the plants should be watered sparingly.

Hardy plants such as ornamental grasses, boxwood, hydrangeas, roses or small shrubs require additional protection to prevent the root ball from freezing through. Suitable materials include coconut mats or sheep's wool, jute or fleece, which can be wrapped around the sides of the containers. The plant parts above ground can also be protected from frost with jute or light-coloured fleece, and a covering for the root ball such as a disc of coconut matting or a layer of cardboard is also an insulation against the cold. The four adjustable feet, which maintain a space between the container and the ground, also prevent the water drainage hole from freezing over. Outdoors this should not be closed with the blind plug during the winter.
