When you invest in extra-large garden pots, you unlock the potential for dramatic planting schemes that transform your outdoor space. Whether you want a pair of trees to frame your front door or a bold centrepiece for your patio, the combination of plant and pot is key.
At Sutton Manor Nursery, we offer a premium collection of XL Italian terracotta, XL fibre clay, and XL Vietnamese garden pots—each ideal for different types of plants.
What to Plant in XL Italian Terracotta Pots
With their natural, breathable clay composition, XL Italian terracotta pots are particularly plant-friendly. They allow excess moisture to evaporate while regulating soil temperature, creating a healthier environment for roots. This makes them ideal for Mediterranean plants such as olive trees, citrus trees, rosemary, bay trees, and lavender.
They also work wonderfully for clipped topiary or structural planting in traditional gardens, where symmetry and form are key design elements.
Plants that Thrive in XL Fibre Clay Pots
If you’re working with a contemporary garden design, XL fibre clay pots are a perfect fit. Their sleek appearance pairs beautifully with architectural plants such as ornamental grasses, bamboo, boxwood, and phormiums. Because they’re weather-resistant and lightweight, they’re suitable for rooftop terraces or patios where pot mobility and durability are equally important.
These pots also provide enough root space for shade-loving ferns or large tropical plants like fatsia and palms—great for adding texture to modern spaces.
Feature Plants for XL Vietnamese Pots
The show-stopping colours and textures of XL Vietnamese garden pots call for statement plants that match their energy. Use them as centrepieces with dramatic plantings like Japanese maples, flowering shrubs, or exotic palms. The glossy, hand-glazed finish of each pot adds depth and contrast to the green tones of your plants.
They’re also excellent for citrus trees, wisteria, or tall grasses that sway gently in the breeze—creating a beautiful combination of colour, height, and texture.
Final Thought
