Just perfect! A bit larger than anticipated- but that was a pleasant surprise! They are made of an extremely sturdy resin- they will most definitely stand up to the elements. Each planter was large enough for me to plant 1 large petunia surrounded by 12 impatients...these planters are large- took two bags of potting mix each to fill plus some extra garden soil I had on hand, and I can use a bit more...incredible quality though. I know these will last for years to come.
