Know before you buy
This piece is designed to be placed directly onto the soil in your garden bed. The open bottom allows the roots of your plants to grow directly into the ground, which provides natural stability and excellent drainage.
Because the design promotes superior drainage, it is best suited for annuals or succulents that prefer drier soil conditions. It is an excellent choice for plants that might otherwise struggle with root rot in standard, solid-bottom containers.
Like most authentic terracotta, this piece is porous and can be susceptible to cracking in extreme freezing temperatures. We recommend bringing it indoors or storing it in a sheltered area during harsh winter months to preserve the integrity of the clay.
While the total height of the piece is 13 inches, the usable plantable depth is 7 inches. This makes it ideal for shallow-rooted flowers or ornamental grasses.
Yes, as an authentic, unglazed terracotta product, it will develop a natural patina when exposed to the elements. This weathering process often enhances the vintage aesthetic and adds character to the piece.
