Merry Berry Lollipop Bay Planter - Blue Glazed

Berries, ivy and a lollipop bay are about as Christmassy as planting gets, but the blue glaze gives them a modern edge. Three berried skimmia and three trailing ivies fill the base of a rounded egg pot, with a clipped bay rising out of the middle.The ivy is the detail that makes it. It trails over the lip and down the glaze, softening the shape of the pot. The whole arrangement is generous enough to hold its own beside a big front door, at the top of a flight of steps or on a terrace.Every plant in it is evergreen, so it keeps its shape and colour after the decorations have gone. Trim the bay in summer and the ivy when it gets long, and the blue pot will keep looking smart well into the new year and beyond.
