Perfect for patio clematis, they need the depth, you could plant trailing lobelia or something with them.
Agree with the above and this is what I'll be doing with my deep pots.
mine are 460mm deep and 500mm wide, I'll be planting Clematis Cezanne to climb the obelisks and lobelia around the edges to add a little protection for the Clematis roots.
Sheps I have Cezanne in a huge hanging basket, a beautiful Clematis, it is only coming into it's second year (with me but it was from Taylors so would have been 2yrs old when I got it) it had three stems last year but now it has loads of new ones coming up as well, I'm so excited, can hardly wait for the show!
Hi Tom,
You could also try some Lily Regale which need deep pots, yours sound like lily pots to me which are usually tall and tapered.
Hopefully you can still get some potted up Lilies from the GC.
tomatoes would be good also in them, they like really deep pots
