Grecian urn style planter with a striking smoky brown finish. A sculptural foil for colour - pack it with spring bulbs or seasonal bedding or plant up a statuesque acer to create a lasting focal point. It could also be used as a vase for holding spent and skeletal flower heads in the winter.
Traditionally kiln fired at very high temperatures, these durable planters are UV and frost resistant and can stay out in all weathers. As with all clay planters, a few simple measures will keep them in great condition for years to come.
Care and maintenance
Raise the pot off the ground with pot feet, making sure the drainage hole is clear so it can drain freely. Arranging a few crocks in the bottom of the pot before adding your soil will help stop the hole from clogging.
Protect the pot from frost damage over winter by sealing it with wax, wrapping it in bubble wrap, fleece or newspaper, moving it to an unheated shed or greenhouse, or placing it in a sheltered spot.
If using for perennial plants, repot them when they outgrow the pot to stop roots from cracking the base. To know when it’s time to repot, check underneath the pot for roots starting to emerge from the drainage hole.
Please note: due to the nature of the finishing process, the final colour will vary from pot to pot.
