Long tom pots and similar for sale?
« on: February 15, 2013, 09:49:00 AM »
Does anyone know where to purchase the so called long tom pots or similar tall plastic pots? even the ones commonly used for potting roses? I am running out of show pots, and no garden centre in Switzerland sells deep plastic pots, only shallow ones (15-20 cm's at most) which are good for arisaemas and alliums, but not for stem rooting lilies which need at least a 25-30 cm deep pot.

I dont mind ordering these by post from the UK or even France...or if anyone has any to spare I would happily purchase them.

I need a total of perhaps 40 large ones (15 cm's wide and 30 cm's tall) and perhaps 40 smaller ones 20 cm's tall and 10 cm's wide. Preferably in green or white, as black pots warm up too quickly in sun and so plants tend to suffer in them....
