Woodlodge Viking Cube Planter 29cm

Woodlodge Viking Cube Terracotta Planter 29cm

The Viking Cube is a square, straight-sided terracotta planter from Woodlodge's Viking range, finished in a pale terracotta with a plain classic profile that suits a patio, doorway or decked area.

At 29cm it is a mid-size cube - big enough for a clipped box ball, a standard bay or a seasonal bedding display - and it is frost proof, so it can be left planted outside through the winter.

Performance & Benefits

• Square cube shape sits flat against a wall or in a corner, unlike a round pot
• Straight sides give more usable rooting volume than a tapered pot of the same height
• Frost proof terracotta, so the pot can stay planted outdoors year round
• Natural pale terracotta weathers gently and suits both traditional and modern planting
• Designed in Britain as part of a range, so cubes and cylinders can be matched across a scheme

Suitable For

• Patios, balconies, decking and doorways
• Clipped topiary, standards, small shrubs and seasonal bedding
• Gardeners wanting a matching pair or run of identical cubes

How to Use

• Check the drainage hole is clear and add a layer of crocks or gravel at the base
• Fill with a suitable compost, planting so the rootball sits just below the rim
• Stand on pot feet to keep the base clear of standing water over winter
• Water thoroughly after planting and check container plants regularly in dry weather

Care & Caution

• Terracotta is heavy and brittle - lift from the base, never by the rim, and do not drop it
• Keep the drainage hole clear; waterlogged compost is the usual cause of winter losses and of frost damage
• Clean with warm soapy water; avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners
• Empty and store under cover if the pot will be left unplanted through a hard winter
