Terracotta has been used for outdoor planting for centuries for a reason. It is breathable, it allows moisture to evaporate naturally and it helps create a more stable growing environment for roots, particularly in garden conditions.
The Terracotta Pot Company focuses on this traditional approach. Their pots are made from natural clay and fired using established methods, resulting in simple, durable planters that are designed to work outdoors rather than sit as decorative pieces.
The range includes a variety of sizes suited to patios, terraces and garden borders, from smaller pots for herbs and seasonal planting to larger terracotta planters for structural planting schemes. They are particularly well suited to plants that prefer good drainage, including Mediterranean planting and drought tolerant species.
At Hortus we like terracotta for its reliability outdoors. It drains well, it weathers naturally and it tends to improve how plants grow over time. The pots in this range follow that same logic.
