Make the Most of Your Planter
The Rowlinson Premier Patio Trough Planter 1.5m functions as a highly effective landscaping accessory for defining distinct zones within your garden. Arranging a few of these substantial troughs in a linear formation can generate a striking living screen, neatly dividing a dining patio from the main grassed area. Alternatively, positioning the planter against a stark boundary fence or rendered wall will instantly soften the hard architecture with cascading foliage. It also provides the perfect proportions for establishing a dedicated vegetable or herb station; simply sow a mix of parsley, chives, and mint, keeping the container close to your kitchen door for immediate harvesting.
To encourage your chosen flora to flourish, we recommend introducing a shallow layer of coarse grit or crocks to the bottom of the planter before adding premium potting soil to fill its 150-litre capacity. This simple step aids the natural drainage capabilities of the wooden base, helping to resist waterlogging when heavy rain occurs. By updating your botanical displays as the year progresses, perhaps selecting cheerful daffodils for the spring, sprawling lobelia during the summer months, and resilient cyclamen for the winter, this adaptable container will deliver a striking visual centrepiece no matter the season.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Premier Patio Trough is made from pressure-treated timbers for excellent durability and longevity. Rowlinson’s pressure-treated products do not require annual re-treatment. If desired can be painted or stained. An anti-rot solution in the timber structure improves resistance to rot. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time. The manufacturer advises that if you want to paint your planter with a different colour, ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber.
