What to expect with FedEx Freight Direct

Your large planter ships on a pallet via FedEx Freight Direct, a noticeable step up from generic LTL freight:

• 2-hour delivery windows — morning or evening, your choice
• Text and email notifications when your shipment is scheduled, the day of delivery, and 30 minutes before the truck arrives

Want White Glove Delivery? Add it to your order at checkout for two-person delivery, placement in the room of your choice, and optional packaging removal. Available on orders $500+ in approximately 90% of the US — we'll confirm availability for your zip code.

Living in a condo, apartment, or high-rise? White Glove Delivery requires an available elevator (preferably a freight or service elevator) at the time of delivery. The FedEx team cannot carry planters up stairs. If your building requires elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, or specific delivery hours, please arrange these in advance. If elevator access is unavailable when FedEx arrives, the planter may be delivered to the building lobby or rescheduled at additional cost.

Inspect before signing. Open the pallet and check each planter at delivery. Note any visible damage on the FedEx delivery receipt before signing — this is the cleanest path to a fast resolution.

Smaller items — FedEx Ground

Some smaller planters and accessories under 150 lbs ship via FedEx Ground (commercial addresses) or FedEx Home Delivery (residential, including weekends). Standard FedEx tracking, no appointment required, no signature unless you request one. Typical transit: 1–5 business days. Your shipping confirmation email will indicate which carrier is handling your order.

If something arrives damaged

Fiberglass is durable, but freight happens. If you see damage at delivery:

1. Note it on the FedEx delivery receipt before signing — the driver will wait while you inspect.
2. Photograph the damage — pallet, packaging, and planter.
3. Email sales@potsplantersandmore.com within 48 hours with photos and your order number.

We'll repair, replace, or credit at our discretion under our 3-year warranty. Concealed damage discovered after unpacking must be reported within 5 business days of delivery.

High-rise, condo, and apartment delivery

We deliver to multi-unit buildings every day, but a few things need to be in place for delivery to succeed:

• Reserve your building's freight or service elevator for your delivery window. Most buildings require 24–72 hours' notice and may restrict deliveries to weekday business hours.
• Confirm the elevator can fit the planter — box is approximately 2" bigger than the planter dimensions. Measure your elevator and unit doorway before ordering.
• Certificate of Insurance (COI) — many buildings require one before any vendor enters. We can request a COI from FedEx — email sales@potsplantersandmore.com at least 5 business days before delivery.
• If the elevator isn't available when FedEx arrives, the planter may be delivered to the lobby or rescheduled at additional cost.

Not sure whether your building can accommodate White Glove Delivery? Contact us before ordering — we'll help you choose the right service level.

Trade & job-site delivery

For landscape architects, designers, and commercial buyers:

• Job-site delivery — provide site contact, hours, and any access restrictions at order
• Coordinated delivery — we'll schedule finishing your planters to coordinate with your install dates
• Blind ship — no PPM branding on pallet or packing slip for trade clients managing end-customer relationships
• Certificate of Insurance (COI) — available on request for sites that require one
• Inside delivery, white-glove, or installation coordination — available on request, quoted per project

Picture a long, elegant planter placed beneath a sunny window or along a quiet garden path. Its clean lines and generous length guide the eye, shaping the space with quiet confidence. That’s the charm of the Old Elm Large Rectangle Planter; it turns simple greenery into part of the design.

This modern rectangular planter has a steady, grounded presence. The wide top gives plants room to spread, while the narrow base keeps the form light and graceful. Indoors, it adds order and calm to open rooms. Outside, it easily defines patios, walkways, and garden edges. No matter where you place it, it brings structure and softness together.

Form, Size & Material

What’s nice about the Old Elm rectangular planter box is how simple it looks, yet how much presence it adds. The lines are straight, the corners smooth, and the surface has a quiet sheen that looks modern without being flashy. 

It’s made from fiberglass, so it’s lightweight yet durable enough to withstand heat, cold, and everything in between.

You can move it around without a fuss, even the bigger ones. That’s helpful when you want to shift layouts or bring plants inside for the season. The color stays even, and the finish doesn’t lose its smooth look after long exposure outdoors.

It comes in several sizes. Some fit narrow balconies or hallways, while the large rectangular planters stretch long enough to border a patio or walkway. Every piece is finished by hand, so you get that nice consistency that makes a set look like it truly belongs together.

There’s also plenty of choice in color. Crisp white brightens shaded corners, charcoal adds a bit of edge, and soft gray blends in quietly with brick, stone, or wood.

Placement Ideas for Indoor & Outdoor Spaces

You can do a lot with this planter without trying too hard. The long rectangular form makes it easy to shape a space, fill gaps, or draw attention where you want it. 

Here are some ideas to start with:

• Entryways and Walkways: Two planters lined up along a door or path instantly create order. The clean edge guides the eye, making the whole area look composed.
• Living Rooms and Interiors: A black rectangular planter looks good next to a console or wide window. It gives structure and brings a nice contrast against light furniture or walls.
• Balconies and Patios: The white rectangular planter adds brightness and makes small spaces feel more open. Fill it with bamboo, ferns, or long grasses for a bit of motion and privacy.
• Gardens and Courtyards: Use rectangular garden planters to define edges, outline paths, or mark seating zones. They’re long enough to shape a space but low enough to keep things feeling open.

You can always shift them around when you want a change. Move two together for a fuller look or spread them apart for a lighter layout. It’s an easy way to keep things fresh throughout the year.

Plant Pairing Ideas

Here’s where the fun begins. The right plants can completely change how the Old Elm looks. The long shape gives you plenty of room to mix textures and colors, so you can go bold, soft, or somewhere in between.

 Try these simple placement ideas to get started.

• Tall and Upright: Go for dracaena, horsetail reeds, or small palms. Their height pairs nicely with the clean sides and draws the eye up.
• Soft and Full: Ferns, philodendrons, or crotons add lush volume that fills the middle section. They work well when you want something green and layered without it looking too dense.
• Trailing Plants: Ivy, creeping jenny, and pothos always look great spilling over the edge. The flowing lines break up the straight sides, making the planter feel more natural and lived-in.

Floral & Color Contrasts

• A white rectangular planter shines with bright flowers like lavender, daisies, or begonias.
• A black rectangular planter loves glossy green or silver leaves — ZZ plants or dusty miller work beautifully.
• A grey rectangular planter is perfect for herbs, succulents, or ornamental grasses.
• A blue rectangular planter brings in a cool accent that looks easy-going near light walls or stone.

If you want that balanced, designer look, mix a taller centerpiece plant with softer trailing greens on the sides. It keeps things interesting from every angle. 

Color & Style Coordination

Color changes the whole mood of this planter, and it’s the easiest way to match your setup. Each finish brings its own character, so think about what fits your space best.

Here are a few finish options and what each one brings to your space.

• Light Finishes: White or cream brightens shaded areas and keeps rooms looking open. They make plant colors pop: greens look richer and flowers look fresher.
• Dark Finishes: A black rectangular planter brings contrast and a sense of depth. It pairs beautifully with stone walls, concrete, or pale flooring.
• Gray & Neutrals: A grey rectangular planter keeps things calm and grounded. It blends into both modern and rustic spaces without stealing focus.
• Blue Finishes: Blue tones are rare but refreshing. They work nicely near water, glass, or light tiles, practically anywhere that needs a touch of color without shouting for attention.

You can stick to one finish for a clean look or mix two tones from the same palette. Smooth fiberglass next to rough wood or stone gives you that mix of textures designers love.

Styling & Grouping Tips

Once you’ve picked your plants and color, it’s time to play around with placement. The Old Elm’s shape makes it easy to try different setups until something clicks.

Try these easy grouping and layout ideas to help everything look more natural: 

• Single Feature: One large rectangular planter is enough to fill an empty wall or patio corner. It anchors the area and adds quiet structure.
• Clustered Setup: Group two or three planters of different sizes for a fuller look. Keeping them in related shades makes the space look put together without feeling too planned.
• Symmetrical Layout: If you like order, place matching planters on each side of a staircase, path, or entryway. The repeated form connects both sides visually and feels calm to the eye.
• Mixed Shapes: Round and rectangular planters side by side make a nice contrast. The straight and curved lines play off each other, adding texture and variety.
• Lighting Touches: A few small solar or landscape lights near the base can highlight the surface and show off your plants at night. The glow feels warm and adds charm to outdoor areas.

You don’t need to overthink styling with this one;  it naturally fits in with most designs. So move it around a few times, and you’ll see how easily it adapts.

Practical Details

The Old Elm Planter isn’t just about looks. It’s built for everyday life. It’s durable, lightweight, and easy to keep clean.

 Here are a few practical details to know before you bring it home.

• Durable Build: Fiberglass keeps it solid but not heavy, so you can move or adjust it without help.
• Drainage Choices: Outdoor planters come with drainage holes, while indoor ones can stay watertight to protect floors.
• Weather-Ready: It stays smooth and even in hot sun or cold rain. The color doesn’t fade, and the shape holds firm through every season.
• Simple Upkeep: You don’t need anything fancy to clean it — just a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Reliable Warranty: Each planter comes with a three-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
