Best Gardenesque pots and planters compared in 2026

Gardenesque sells everything from a small herb planter to a very large glazed pot, so the right choice depends on where it is going and what you plan to grow. This roundup covers seven options priced from £39.00 to £295.00. Materials include terracotta, glazed clay, recycled plastic and a mix of recycled plastics and repurposed stone, and capacities run from 27 litres up to 124 litres. Weight varies a lot too, from 3 kg to 55 kg, which affects how easy each pot is to place and move. This is desk research based on the product details supplied, not hands-on testing.

Our stand-out pick

Gardenesque x Ecopots Large Wheeled Plant Pot 60 cm

The Gardenesque x Ecopots Large Wheeled Plant Pot 60 cm is the most practical all-round pick on the facts. It holds 109 litres, the second-largest capacity here, and it has four concealed wheels, two pot feet and a removable drainage plug. The retailer lists a carrying capacity of up to 120 kg, and the recycled plastics and repurposed stone construction is described as UV- and weather-resistant. Wheels set it apart from the heavy clay and terracotta pots, which have no such feature listed. At £235.00 it costs less than the two £295.00 clay pots, though it is not the cheapest. This choice comes from comparing the supplied facts, not from testing.

The details

Seven Gardenesque pots and planters compared

01 · Best Mid-Size Terracotta Pot

Borge Large Grey Terracotta Plant Pot 50 cm

A handmade grey-washed terracotta pot with 46 litres of capacity for £125.00.

The Borge Large Grey Terracotta Plant Pot 50 cm is a tapered, handmade pot that is 50 cm wide and 50 cm tall, with a built-in drainage hole. The grey-washed finish gives it a softer look than classic orange terracotta, which may suit a modern or muted planting scheme. Capacity is 46 litres, enough for a medium shrub, a small tree or a generous seasonal display. At 23 kg it is hefty, so it is best to settle on its position before you fill it with compost. It is listed as frostproof, and the price sits between the budget plastic pot and the large glazed clay options.

Price snapshot: £125.00 at Gardenesque, recorded 2026-11-03. Check the retailer page for the current price.

02 · Best Lightweight Pot

Gardenesque x Ecopots Round Plant Pot 40 cm

A 3.6 kg recycled plastic pot with a removable drainage plug and 27 litres of capacity for £55.00.

The Gardenesque x Ecopots Round Plant Pot 40 cm weighs just 3.6 kg, which makes it by far the easiest of the larger pots to carry about. It is made from recycled plastic with a hand-finished, conical shape, and the retailer lists UV and weather resistance. Capacity is 27 litres, suited to seasonal bedding, a patio herb collection or a compact shrub. The removable drainage plug gives you control over water drainage, which can be handy if you want to swap between indoor and outdoor positions. It is a sensible choice if you rearrange your patio often, but it holds less than most others here.

03 · Best for a Herb Collection

Gardenesque Kitchen Herbs Glazed Tiered Planter 27 cm

A compact glazed tiered planter built for herbs and small edibles, and the cheapest here at £39.00.

The Gardenesque Kitchen Herbs Glazed Tiered Planter 27 cm is designed for herbs or small edible plants, using tiers to fit several plants into a small footprint. It measures 27 cm wide and 25 cm high, so it can sit on a patio table, windowsill or doorstep close to the kitchen. The earthen clay body has a glazed finish and a built-in drainage hole, and it is listed as frostproof. At 3 kg it is easy to carry, though a litre capacity is not given, so judge its space by the dimensions. It is the lowest-priced item in the roundup and suits anyone starting small.

Price snapshot: £39.00 at Gardenesque, recorded 2026-11-03. Check the retailer page for the current price.

Key specifications

Dimensions: 27 cm wide × 25 cm high
Weight: 3 kg

04 · Best Wheeled Planter

Gardenesque x Ecopots Large Wheeled Plant Pot 60 cm

A 109-litre planter with four hidden wheels, a drainage plug and a 120 kg carrying capacity.

The Gardenesque x Ecopots Large Wheeled Plant Pot 60 cm is the only pot here designed to be rolled into position. Four concealed wheels sit alongside two pot feet and a removable drainage plug, and the retailer lists a carrying capacity of up to 120 kg. It is 60 cm across and 55 cm tall with a conical, hand-finished shape, and the recycled plastics and repurposed stone construction is described as UV- and weather-resistant. Capacity is 109 litres, which suits a large shrub, small tree or a big mixed display. At £235.00 it costs £60 less than the two top-end clay pots, but it is a lot more than the lighter plastic option.

Price snapshot: £235.00 at Gardenesque, recorded 2026-11-03. Check the retailer page for the current price.

Key specifications

Dimensions: 60 cm diameter × 55 cm height
Material: Recycled plastics and repurposed stone
Finish: Hand-finished, conical shape
Capacity: 109 litres
Extras: 4 concealed wheels, 2 pot feet, removable drainage plug
Carrying capacity: 120 kg
Weather protection: UV- and weather-resistant

What stands out

Four concealed wheels let you move a large planter without lifting
109 litres with a listed 120 kg carrying capacity gives plenty of room

Things to consider

At £235.00 it costs far more than the 40 cm Ecopots round pot

05 · Best for Maximum Capacity

Eris Ancient Stone Glazed Plant Pot 72 cm

The largest pot here, with 124 litres, a salt glaze and a frostproof listing, at £295.00.

The Eris Ancient Stone Glazed Plant Pot 72 cm is the biggest option in the roundup, at 72 cm wide, 57 cm tall and 124 litres. It is made from clay with a hand-applied salt glaze and a weathered stone effect finish, and it has a drainage hole and a frostproof listing. The size makes it a natural fit for a focal point on a terrace or by a front door. At 55 kg empty, it is the heaviest pot here, so position matters. It costs the same as the Joie urn, but it holds almost double the volume, which may tip the choice for anyone planting something large.

Price snapshot: £295.00 at Gardenesque, recorded 2026-11-03. Check the retailer page for the current price.

Key specifications

Dimensions: 72 cm external width × 57 cm height
Weight: 55 kg
Material: Clay
Finish: Hand-applied salt glaze
Capacity: 124 litres
Drainage: Drainage hole
Weather protection: Frostproof

06 · Best Decorative Urn

Joie Ancient Stone Garden Urn 65 cm

A fluted, urn-shaped clay pot with a weathered stone finish and 65 litres of capacity for £295.00.

The Joie Ancient Stone Garden Urn 65 cm is the most traditional shape in the roundup, with a fluted urn form made from kiln-fired clay. It stands 65 cm tall with a maximum width of 56 cm, so its height suits a focal point at a gateway, on steps or beside a bench. The hand-applied salt glaze gives a weathered stone effect, and it has a single drainage hole and a frostproof listing. Capacity is 65 litres, about half that of the Eris pot at the same £295.00. That makes it a pick for appearance rather than volume, and no weight is given, so check handling before ordering.

Price snapshot: £295.00 at Gardenesque, recorded 2026-11-03. Check the retailer page for the current price.

Key specifications

Dimensions: 56 cm maximum external width × 65 cm overall height
Material: Clay

Capacity: 65 litres
Drainage: Single drainage hole
Weather protection: Frostproof

What stands out

07 · Best Tall Terracotta Pot

Sardinia Tall Italian Terracotta Plant Pot 70 cm

A 70 cm tall Italian terracotta pot with a narrow 35 cm width and 36 litres of capacity for £195.00.

The Sardinia Tall Italian Terracotta Plant Pot 70 cm is the tallest pot in the roundup, at 70 cm high but only 35 cm wide. That narrow, tapered square form suits tight spots such as entrances, narrow borders or beside steps, where a wider pot would crowd the space. It is handmade from Italian terracotta, has a single drainage hole and is listed as frostproof. Capacity is 36 litres, which is modest for the height, so it is better for upright plants than wide, spreading ones. At 28 kg it is heavy enough that it is best placed once and left, and it costs £195.00.

Price snapshot: £195.00 at Gardenesque, recorded 2026-11-03. Check the retailer page for the current price.

Key specifications

Dimensions: 35 cm wide × 70 cm high
Weight: 28 kg

What stands out

70 cm height with a 35 cm width suits narrow spots
Handmade Italian terracotta in a tapered square form

Things to consider

Only 36 litres for a £195.00 pot, and 28 kg is heavy for that capacity
