Bleak winter garden be gone! When the leaves drop and flowers fade, these shapely offerings have got your back. With frost-proof designs that resemble smiles on the side and those that remind of us wine glasses, super-sized, when it comes to preparing for this year's winter chill, we're loving it!
In every imaginable colour, you'll be spoiled for choice. For a quick and easy super-modern display, group together pots in the same style but in varying different heights and sizes. They tend to look best when grouped in odd numbers such as three or five. Fill with the same plant in all, or choose a colour or shape that’s included in all of them.
Whatever your budget, there’s no need to pack up your garden and wait for the arrival of spring. Even when it's cold and rainy, these planters will fill your outdoor space with eye-catching cheer.
