The HC Companies Eclipse Round Planter (16" slate blue) is a lightweight, UV-resistant plastic pot with pre-drilled drainage and a removable saucer for easy indoor or outdoor planting.

Perfect for patios, porches, balconies or bright indoor corners, this 16-inch round planter combines practical gardening features with a clean, contemporary look. Made from UV-resistant polypropylene at The HC Companies' Ohio facility, the planter resists fading and cracking while remaining easy to lift and relocate. The built-in drainage system and included saucer help maintain healthy roots and protect surfaces from excess water, making this pot suitable for flowers, herbs, vegetables and decorative houseplants.

How does this planter manage water and protect plant roots?

The Eclipse planter is engineered to promote proper drainage and reduce the risk of overwatering. Pre-drilled holes let excess water escape, while the removable saucer captures runoff so you can water indoors without damaging furniture or floors.

• Pre-drilled drainage holes for consistent water flow
• Removable saucer collects excess moisture and simplifies watering
• Raised base encourages airflow beneath the pot to reduce stagnation
• Easy-to-remove saucer makes cleaning and winter storage straightforward

Will this pot withstand outdoor sun and seasonal changes?

Yes—constructed from UV-resistant polypropylene, the planter holds color and structural integrity in sunlight and fluctuating temperatures. Its durable plastic composition is less prone to cracking than clay or ceramic when exposed to outdoor conditions.

• UV-resistant material protects against fading and degradation
• Lightweight construction reduces breakage risk during handling
• Sturdy design suitable for porches, decks and balcony environments
• Recommended for year-round use in temperate climates with proper winter care

How easy is it to move, arrange, and maintain?

The planter’s lightweight build and rounded shape make repositioning plants quick and manageable. Its smooth matte finish wipes clean, and the saucer detaches for emptying or cleaning, saving time for busy gardeners.

• Lightweight for simple lifting and reconfiguration
• Matte surface resists dirt and cleans with a damp cloth
• Single-piece construction minimizes assembly steps
• Ideal for switching seasonal displays or rotating plants for sunlight

What size plants and settings are best for this 16" pot?

The 16-inch diameter and 14.5-inch height offer room for medium-sized ornamentals, mixed herb gardens, or a pair of compact vegetables. It fits well as a focal container on a balcony, grouped with other pots for layered planting, or inside as a statement planter near windows.

• Room for multiple herb starts or one medium shrub-like plant
• Works as a single focal container or part of a grouped arrangement
• Compatible with standard potting mixes and container-specific soils
• Saucer helps when placing on indoor trays or outdoor furniture
