IDEALIST Large Rectangle Trough Planter – 85cm, 60L

This large rectangular trough from IDEALIST brings a refined, contemporary edge to patios, front doorsteps and garden borders. Measuring 85cm long and 41cm tall with a generous 60-litre soil capacity, it gives roots plenty of room to establish, making it a strong choice for ornamental shrubs, small trees, seasonal bulbs or a run of structured topiary. The pre-drilled drainage holes keep waterlogging at bay and encourage healthy root aeration without any extra effort on your part.

Despite its substantial size, the planter is surprisingly easy to handle thanks to its fiberstone construction — a blend of natural stone particles and fibre that looks and feels like real concrete but weighs considerably less. It's robust enough to live outside year-round, with solid resistance to both frost and UV fading, so it won't crack through a hard British winter or lose its colour through a rare sunny summer. Over time it develops a subtle aged patina, much like genuine stone, which only adds to its character.

The finish has a smooth, premium concrete effect that sits comfortably in both modern and traditional outdoor settings. IDEALIST offer the same design across a range of sizes and complementary colours, so if you're looking to create a cohesive arrangement along a pathway or terrace, it's straightforward to mix and match pieces for a considered, pulled-together look.
