Quirky shapes for quirky spaces

The round garden pot, a staple of horticultural practice, is undoubtedly useful and highly regarded both for its addition to the aesthetic, and functionality of a garden. However, unique situations demand unique solutions.

There are instances where this round container simply fails to address the nuances of a garden’s layout. Be it the challenge of an awkward corner, the constraints of a narrow passage, or the desire to elevate a wall with verdant displays, uniquely shaped pots offer a solution, transforming potential limitations into opportunities.

Unlocking Potential

The deployment of shaped pots is not merely a matter of visual appeal; it is a strategic approach to maximising space and enhancing the overall garden experience. Consider the following advantages:

Beyond the Round

Design, in our estimation, is not merely a matter of visual appeal, but a synthesis of aesthetic and practical virtues. Thus, alongside designing our “normal” pots, we thoughtfully developed several uniquely shaped pots, specifically for these specialised situations.

Angoliera: Mastering the Corner

The Angoliera, designed to nestle seamlessly into corners, transforms previously underutilised. Based on the design of the Circolare pot, it comes in 2 different sizes and is particularly good for climbers and roses to hide those downpipes.

Pilone: A Square Statement

The Pilone, with its clean, geometric lines, introduces a contemporary aesthetic to any setting. Its square shape works brilliantly to fit into corners, place flush against a wall, or be used in “normal” situations, but with the added stability against the elements due to its shape. Striking when positioned as a pair, planted with twisted standard bays or neat clipped box balls. Create a stunning border by alternating the Pilone with our Cassetta Finestra planters.

Half Pots: Elegantly Clever

Our range of half pots are designed for use against walls. They work perfectly if space is limited, if you want to avoid creating obstructions, or if you want a pot to lie completely flat against a wall for use as a water feature.

Cesta Mezza

Based on the Cesta design, this half pot is a beautiful simple design, with a rope topped decoration. Ideal for climbers and underplanting. Looks great as a water feature with the water spouts on the plaque page.

Mezza Circolare

This simple but elegant pot is the half pot version of the Circolare (you are probably twigging that ‘Mezza’ means ‘half’ in Italian). A beautiful no nonsense piece that is of a timeless style. Available in 2 different sizes.

Colonna Mezza

The Colonna is one of our most popular pots, with its nod to the classical style being based on the details of Ionic pilasters. This half pot version, available in 2 sizes, enables you to use this popular pot where space is limited.

Semicircolare

Similar to the Mezza Circolare, this half pot is of a simple, timeless style. This planter will suit climbing roses and is perfect for narrow spaces or where vertical planting is needed. Hops with Clematis are lovely for the spring and summer season.
