Alfresco Ambiance Outdoor PlantersMed

The Alfresco Ambiance Outdoor Planter in the medium size is a grey ceramic vessel for a patio, balcony or garden. The neutral grey suits both contemporary and traditional exteriors. It arrives ready to use.

Grey is the outdoor colour that behaves best over time, because it is already the tone that weathering produces. Where a white pot degrades towards grey and a coloured one fades, a grey vessel simply looks like itself as the seasons pass.

Ceramic outdoors is a genuine material choice rather than a default, and it comes with one caution worth knowing: fired ceramic is hard and brittle, so it holds its finish beautifully and chips rather than scuffs if something is dropped on the rim.

A mid-sized planter is the most useful size on a balcony, where floor space is the constraint. It is large enough to hold a plant with presence and small enough to leave room to walk past it, which is the calculation that actually decides an outdoor pot.
