最开始的Bullet Planters由多家公司共同生产，并且并不知道具体的设计师是谁。有人说是一个旧金山人制作了一个卫星形状的盘子，他把这个盘子带回家后，妻子竟拿它种植植物。从此就有了这样形状的花盆。实际上，Bullet Planters还有更多的使用可能性，可以用来作为冰桶或是防止其他物品。
The original Bullet Planters were first manufactured by several different companies in the 1950s, none of which were able to trademark the design, and the designer has never been identified. One version of the story goes that a man in the San Francisco Bay Area worked for a company that made the conical, molded fiberglass shapes as satellite dishes. He brought one home, and when his wife saw it, she got the idea to turn it into a planter. This has, however, never been confirmed. Regardless of its origins, the Bullet today is still made from durable, compression-molded fiberglass, perched atop a tripod of powder-coated steel. Though called a planter, it can also work as an ice bucket or to hold other items.
