About Florence Planter
Size is the decision here. At 73W x 63H, the B4347/73 takes a mature feature shrub, a standard topiary or a mixed specimen planting without the root ball running out of depth. Step down to the B4347/51 at 51W x 48H and you have a pot that sits comfortably along a veranda, beside an outdoor dining setting, or either side of a covered entry. The smallest, B4347/37 at 37W x 34H, suits shallow-rooting foliage, a patio tabletop, or a garden alcove where there is no room to spare.
All three share the same softly rounded Florence profile, so they read as one family whether a pot stands on its own or all three step together in a graduated group. The walls are thick and high-fired: they slow the swing in root temperature through a hot afternoon and breathe enough to stop the mix souring, which counts for a lot in an exposed Western Australian garden.

Common questions
Does it need pot feet, or is the drainage hole enough?
Check the base hole is clear, lay a piece of permeable mesh over it so the potting mix stays put, and sit the pot on terracotta feet. The air gap underneath stops drainage water pooling against the base, keeps air moving to the roots, and saves your pavers from moisture marks. Fill with a free-draining outdoor mix, with a wetting agent and slow-release fertiliser worked through it.
What size should I choose, and can I group all three?
Match the pot to the root ball: the 73W for a mature shrub or topiary, the 51W for a veranda or entry pairing, the 37W for shallow-rooting foliage and tabletops. Grouping works well because the three sizes carry identical profile curves and the same rustic Atlantis texture, so stepped together they read as one graduated display rather than three unrelated pots. It is a straightforward way to add depth on a wide patio, a pool deck or a shaded garden corner.
Will it hold up in full sun and coastal heat in Perth?
It will. Vitrified terracotta is fired at high temperature, which leaves a dense clay body that resists cracking, flaking and UV degradation through a full Western Australian summer in open sun.
