The Sorrento Planter blends classical pottery proportions with the raw, earthen textures of our Atlantis range. Every container undergoes high-temperature kiln firing, creating a dense ceramic structure capable of withstanding the harsh Western Australian sun, coastal winds, and seasonal weather shifts without deteriorating.
The firing process ensures that each piece develops an individual weathered patina and tactile surface. Its balanced, upright silhouette provides deep soil volume for extensive root systems while maintaining a space-efficient ground footprint.
Available in three proportional sizes—57 x 97 cm, 43 x 72 cm, and 33 x 61 cm—the Sorrento Planter can be displayed as a standalone feature container or clustered in a three-tier grouping to frame entryways, courtyards, or pool pavilions:
- B4758/57 (57 x 97 cm): Commanding upright vessel with 97 cm of planting height, suited for mature citrus trees, standard bay trees, or architectural palms
- B4758/43 (43 x 72 cm): Balanced mid-scale container suited for flanking main doorways, garden gates, or terrace steps
- B4758/33 (33 x 61 cm): Versatile compact urn for courtyard corners, balcony gardens, or tiering alongside larger pots

How should I prepare the tall B4758/57 (57×97 cm) planter for potting?
Because the largest model stands 97 cm tall and holds substantial soil volume, position the pot in its permanent garden location before potting. Place permeable mesh over the drainage hole, fill the bottom third with coarse potting mix to assist drainage, and complete potting with a quality free-draining mix.
Why use pot feet beneath the Sorrento Planter?
Supporting the planter on terracotta pot feet raises the base drainage hole 15 to 20 mm above paving. This maintains clear drainage runoff during heavy winter downpours and prevents mineral moisture lines from transferring onto limestone or travertine pavers.
Can I achieve a matched entrance pair despite kiln variations?
Because each Atlantis planter develops an organic textured patina during high-temperature firing, no two surfaces are identical. If you are framing an entrance gateway or front door with a pair, visit our Malaga showroom to inspect and hand-select pieces with matching tones.
How does the clay body perform during Perth summer heatwaves?
The thick, high-fired terracotta walls provide high thermal mass, shielding delicate root balls from radiant ambient heat. The natural breathability of unsealed terracotta ensures roots remain well-aerated, preventing root stress often seen in thin synthetic containers.
