Hadley Pot with Tray M

The Hadley Pot with Tray in the medium size is 42cm square and 45cm high, in a clean white finish with a matching tray. The tray provides drainage, which is what makes it usable on a paved terrace. It is intended for outdoor positions.

A pot and tray at this size is a genuinely different proposition from the small indoor versions. At 45cm high it is a floor piece, and the tray is doing real work outdoors: it stops the run-off from a watering staining pavers or decking beneath it.

The proportions suit a herb garden better than a single specimen. A 42cm opening will take three or four herb plants comfortably, which is a more useful outdoor arrangement than one plant in a pot that size, and it keeps them together for watering.

White outdoors needs some thought about position. In a shaded, damp corner a pale pot greens over within a season; in an open, airy spot it stays looking as it should and reflects light back up into the planting.
