FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
