Glazed terracotta long tom pot - ivory

These classic tapered pots come in a subtle ivory colourway. Simple and understated - a lovely backdrop for dramatic dahlias or other vivid colour. The raw character of the terracotta is apparent through the mottled white glaze, giving the surface plenty of life and texture. They suit spaces that need accents and highlights and would do nicely with both flowering plants and leafy greens!

Fired at very high temperatures for UV and frost resistance, the pots are suitable for year-round outdoor use. With three sizes available, the smaller sizes are useful for indoor plants too. Supplied with a drainage hole.

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: as with all glazed planters, there may be hairline cracks present in the glaze. These are only surface deep and will not compromise the structural integrity of the pot in any way.
