The Lima is a tapered square fiberglass planter whose walls draw inward as they fall, meeting a compact base that lifts the whole form off the ground. Crisp corners keep it architectural; the soft taper keeps it from feeling heavy, so it holds a corner without dominating it.
Made from premium composite fiberglass, it stays light enough for one person to reposition yet strong enough to live outside year-round, through freezing winters and full sun, without cracking, rusting, or fading. The opening is wide relative to the base, so there is real planting room up top: room for a clipped boxwood, a seasonal display, or a small tree in the larger sizes. Each Lima is finished to order in your chosen color and drilled for drainage only if you ask, so it arrives ready for the spot you have in mind.
Every piece we carry is chosen to survive real weather and look considered for years, not seasons.
Frost-proof, UV-stable fiberglass holds its color and shape through freezing winters and full sun.
Crisp corners keep the form sharp while the taper draws the walls in to a compact base, so it holds a corner without dominating it.
Each Lima is hand-finished in your chosen shade, so the color is part of the planter rather than a coat on top of it.
Nothing here sits in a warehouse. Every planter is hand-finished in the color you choose, then shipped to your door.
Working to a specific palette? Jay Scotts offers twenty standard finishes to order. Email us and we will arrange it.
The Lima works indoors or outdoors in any climate. Its fiberglass body is frost-proof and UV-stable, so it can stay outside year-round without cracking or fading.
Ordered without holes by default, so it can hold a liner or double as a cachepot. Add drilled drainage at checkout if you plan to plant directly (note: a drilled planter is final sale).
Wipe clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads. In freezing climates, keep soil from sitting waterlogged over winter so trapped water cannot expand against the walls.
Fiberglass is light for its size, but a filled planter is heavy. Position it before planting, and lift from the base rather than the rim.
