Product Details

Inspired by William Shakespeare’s ode to spring in The Winter’s Tale, Whichford Pottery's straight-sided pot is illustrated by his lines “When daffodils begin to peer, Why, then comes in the sweet o’ the year.” His words are framed by Daffodils and bordered by narrow raised bands rendered in the master potter’s gray slip trailing. We recommend the use of larger bark mulch or a wire mesh screen to cover the drainage hole.

  • Measures approximately 11" wide x 12½" tall
  • Weighs approximately 20 lbs
  • One drainage hole
  • For outdoor or indoor use
  • Handmade in Warwickshire, England
  • Holds approximately 15 quarts of soil (around ½ cubic foot)
  • Planter uses about ½ bag of our Fafard Container Mix - click here to order

All Whichford pots have a 10-year frost-proof guarantee. In colder climates where they may be subject to freeze/thaw cycles, we recommend emptying and storing them indoors. If you choose to overwinter your pots outside, cover them and place in a protected area where they are not in contact with bare ground.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

WOW

WOW--is this pot ever gorgeous!! This is my first Whichford pot and boy am I impressed. It's incredibly heavy, sturdy, and beautifully made and was shipped in a bombproof box with foam-in-place padding. I hesitated at the cost, but it was well worth it. There will be many more joining my Whichford collection!
