Terracotta Agapanthus pot - large
Tall handled pot in a traditional Greek urn style, ideal for Mediterranean-inspired gardens. Given the slender shape, the pot keeps roots constricted, making it perfect for plants like agapanthus that like to be slightly crowded.
The small surface area makes it less prone to waterlogging. So in keeping with the Mediterranean feel, it’s best for plants that thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.
The pot is hand thrown in Turkey by Argun and his son, 3rd and 4th generation potters from the Izmir region on the Aegean coast. Made using local clay, it’ll age to a wonderful patina as the salts slowly leach to the surface.
Each pot is fired to 1080°C to make it as frost resistant as possible; however we would always suggest moving empty or full pots into a sheltered spot in the colder months.
To keep your pot in tip-top condition please read our ‘Assembly and care instructions’ PDF for more detailed advice.
Any white specks in the terracotta are lime granules, which occur naturally in raw Turkish clay. Occasionally when a pot is fired, the clay around them can split out a little, but this does not compromise the strength of the finished product. The presence of lime helps to bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot.
Supplied with a drainage hole; standing it on pot feet will enhance drainage and protect the pot from frost (feet sold separately).
Available in two sizes to let you choose the best fit for your space, or add variety if displaying pots together. As they are hand thrown, they will vary slightly in height and diameter, so the measurements below are approximate.
Measurements:
Ø26cm x H52cm
