Product Insights
The Patina Selena Rust-Coloured Planter by Veradek offers a genuine rust patina that deepens over time from a steel-plastic composite, arriving partially rusted and self-correcting to a uniform orange finish, while resisting UV fading. Weighing about one-third of Corten steel at 16.3 pounds, it is a lightweight, affordable alternative to premium planters, but its 5-year limited warranty contrasts with Corten's 40-50-year lifespan. The removable insert shelf reduces planting depth to 13 inches, saving nearly half the soil, and the lower compartment requires gravel ballast for wind stability. Rust runoff stains concrete and wood, necessitating a separate tray, yet the planter is safe for edible plants, rated for -30°C to +50°C, and crack-resistant, making it a tall entryway accent that trades longevity and stability for weight savings and cost.

Making a statement at your entryway, patio, or poolside
This tall, slender planter with a deep rust colour and curved silhouette is promoted by the manufacturer as a head-turning accent for a front door, back patio, or poolside. It's designed for year-round outdoor use, resisting cracking, UV damage, and extreme temperatures.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Patina Selena Rust-Coloured Planter: Choose this if you want a tall, eye-catching outdoor planter for a front door, patio, or poolside, with a 13.5 inch diameter, 28 inch height, and 12.1 gallon (45.8 L) capacity. Its patented steel-plastic composite is designed and made in Canada and is rated for temperatures from -30 to +50 degrees Celsius, with resistance to cracking, fading, and UV damage, drainage holes, and a 5-year limited warranty. Note that the rust-toned finish develops over time rather than arriving fully weathered, and the insert-shelf variant offers a lower 13 inch planting height with a smaller 6.7 gallon (25.5 L) capacity.[2,3] | Patina Kona Rust-Coloured Planter See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a cylindrical outdoor planter with a deep rust look that develops its partial rust finish over time, and you need year-round durability: its steel-plastic composite is rated for temperatures from -30 to +50 °C and resists impacts, cracks, scratches, and fading, with drainage holes to help prevent root rot. The lighter composite makes it easier to move than heavier materials, and it comes with a 5-year limited warranty. Note that one owner reports these planters become very heavy once filled with soil and lack a good grip point for lifting, so place it where it will stay before filling.[5,6,7] | Selena Conical Planter 13.5-In Opening: Choose this if you want a tall, tapered conical planter (13.5 inch opening, 28 inches high, 25.5 litre capacity with the inner shelf) for an entryway or outdoor display, since reviewers say its stylish look makes a welcoming focal point and its light weight makes seasonal repositioning easy. It suits year-round outdoor use: the stone-plastic composite is resistant to cracks, scratches, fading and all weather conditions, and it is made in Canada with a 5 year limited warranty, in Black, Light Grey or White. Note that the pre-drilled bottom drainage hole can complicate potting directly without a liner and may require an insert or saucer, and some customers note it may need added weight in windy conditions.[8,9,10] |

Veradek chosen as affordable modern planter
Damn, I love those (landscape collection). Wish I could afford them. Ended up buying Veradek, $140 for a 3-foot long rectangular box container was too good to pass up.

Positive review of Veradek planter quality
I know this is a very late comment but I just got my set of three in the mail and I am super impressed with the quality. Thick plastic walls and a good weight to them. Large holes in the bottom as well and I def think these will last very long.
