Glazed Plant Pots & Garden Planters

Yes, many glazed plant pots are designed for outdoor use and are a great way to add colour and character to patios, entrances and garden borders. When choosing an outdoor glazed pot, check the individual product information for guidance on frost resistance and care. Good drainage is also important, particularly during wet or freezing weather.

Many quality glazed garden pots are frost resistant or frost proof, but this varies between ranges and manufacturers. If you plan to leave your pots outside throughout the year, look for glazed pots specifically designed to cope with freezing temperatures. Good drainage is also important, as water collecting in or around a pot can cause problems when temperatures fall below freezing.

Most plants grown in outdoor pots benefit from drainage holes, which allow excess rainwater and irrigation to escape and help prevent waterlogged compost. Raising your pots slightly with plant pot feet can also help keep drainage holes clear and allow water to drain freely away from the base.

Good drainage is one of the most important considerations when looking after outdoor pots through a UK winter. Make sure drainage holes remain clear, avoid allowing pots to sit in standing water and consider using plant pot feet to raise them slightly from the ground. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions for your particular pot during prolonged periods of freezing weather.

Large glazed garden pots are ideal for creating statement displays with shrubs, ornamental grasses, perennials and seasonal plants. Depending on the size of the container and the needs of the plant, larger pots can also be suitable for compact trees. Choose a pot with enough space for healthy root growth and consider the eventual size of the plant before planting.
