The 62L Terracotta Flower Box is a large rectangular outdoor planter measuring 86cm wide, 38cm high and 30cm deep, providing generous growing space for colourful seasonal displays, herbs, vegetables and mixed planting schemes.
With a substantial 62-litre capacity, this flower box offers considerably more root space than a small window box, making it a practical choice where larger plants or more ambitious combinations of plants are required.
The long 86cm rectangular format provides plenty of planting width while retaining a relatively compact 30cm front-to-back footprint. This makes it useful for positioning along patios, paths, walls, fences and other areas where a long planter works better than several individual pots.
Finished in classic terracotta, the planter offers the traditional appearance associated with clay pots while retaining the practical handling advantages of plastic construction.
Its generous proportions make it suitable for creating a complete display in a single container, whether planted with summer bedding, trailing flowers, herbs or suitable compact vegetables.
Why choose the 62L Flower Box?
- Large 62L capacity - generous growing volume for substantial container displays.
- 86cm wide - provides plenty of space for multiple plants in a single planter.
- 38cm high - useful depth for developing root systems and larger planting schemes.
- 30cm front-to-back depth - substantial growing space without an excessively deep footprint.
- Classic terracotta colour - traditional appearance suitable for gardens, patios and landscaped areas.
- Plastic construction - easier to handle than an equivalent large clay or terracotta container.
- Versatile rectangular format - useful along walls, fences, paths and patio edges.
- Suitable for mixed planting - combine upright, mounding and trailing plants in one display.
- Useful for edible crops - suitable for appropriate herbs and compact vegetables.
- Reusable planter - replant seasonally to create changing displays throughout the year.
Generous 62-litre growing capacity
Container volume matters because roots require adequate space for healthy development as plants mature. At 62 litres, this flower box provides significantly more growing medium than a conventional small window box.
The additional compost volume can support larger plants and more substantial combinations while also providing a larger reservoir of moisture and nutrients within the growing medium.
This makes the planter particularly useful for displays intended to develop over an entire growing season rather than short-term decorative planting.
What can you grow in a 62L flower box?
The wide rectangular planting area allows numerous planting styles depending on the season, location and growing medium used.
- Summer bedding plants
- Trailing flowers
- Compact ornamental grasses
- Herbs
- Salad crops
- Suitable compact vegetables
- Seasonal bulbs
- Mixed foliage displays
- Patio planting combinations
- Seasonal garden centre displays
Match the number and type of plants to their mature size rather than overcrowding the planter when initially planting. Giving plants sufficient space allows better light penetration and air movement as the display develops.
Create impressive mixed container displays
The 86cm width provides enough space to combine several plant forms within one coordinated display.
Taller or more upright plants can provide structure towards the centre or rear, while lower-growing varieties fill the main body of the planter. Trailing plants can then be positioned towards the edges to soften the outline as they grow.
This approach can produce a fuller display than using a single plant type and allows contrasting flower colours, foliage textures and growth habits to be combined within one container.
Ideal for patios, paths & garden spaces
The long rectangular footprint makes this flower box particularly useful where planting is required along a defined edge.
It can be positioned alongside walls and fences, used to introduce planting beside paths or placed on suitable patios and paved areas.
Several planters can also be positioned together to create a longer continuous planting feature while retaining the flexibility of individual containers.
Classic terracotta appearance
Terracotta remains one of the most familiar colours for garden containers, complementing green foliage and a broad range of flowering plants.
This plastic flower box provides that traditional warm terracotta appearance without the weight associated with a large genuine terracotta container.
This can make positioning, seasonal replanting and general handling more convenient, particularly before the planter has been filled with growing medium.
Planting your 62L flower box
Select a growing medium appropriate to the plants being grown. For most seasonal container displays, a quality multipurpose or specialist container compost will provide a suitable starting point.
Fill the planter evenly without excessively compressing the growing medium. Position plants according to their eventual size and growth habit, then firm them gently into place and water thoroughly after planting.
Larger containers can become extremely heavy once filled with moist compost, so it is sensible to position the flower box in its intended location before completing the planting.
Watering a large flower box
Although a 62L planter contains a substantial volume of growing medium, established plants can still use significant quantities of water during warm, bright or windy conditions.
Check moisture regularly by inspecting the growing medium rather than watering solely according to a fixed timetable. Requirements will vary with plant type, weather, location and stage of growth.
When watering, apply moisture evenly across the planter so that plants throughout the full 86cm width receive adequate water.
Feeding container-grown plants
Plants growing in containers have access only to the nutrients contained within the planter, so additional feeding may become necessary as the season progresses.
Select a fertiliser appropriate to the crops being grown and follow its application instructions. Flowering displays, herbs and vegetable crops can have different nutrient requirements.
Regular removal of spent flowers and damaged foliage can also help keep ornamental displays looking tidy throughout the growing season.

Can I grow vegetables in this flower box?
Yes, suitable compact vegetables and salad crops can be grown in the planter where its dimensions provide adequate root space for the crop selected.
Is the flower box suitable for herbs?
Yes. The 86cm planting width provides useful space for creating a mixed herb planter, provided varieties with compatible growing requirements are selected.
Can I use it for summer bedding?
Yes. Its large capacity and long planting area make it particularly suitable for substantial seasonal bedding displays using combinations of upright, mounding and trailing plants.
