Clematis Root Protector

Clematis prefer a cool, relatively moist root run, so these terracotta protectors, which help shade their roots from the sun, will help get newly planted clematis off to a better start.

Each root protector is fired to 1080°C to make it as frost resistant as possible; however we would always suggest moving it into a sheltered spot in the colder months.

To keep your pot in tip-top condition please read our ‘Assembly and care instructions’ PDF for more detailed advice.

As they are individually thrown by hand, protectors will vary slightly in height and diameter from batch to batch, so please be aware the measurements below are approximate.

Please note: any white specks in the terracotta are lime granules, which occur naturally in raw Turkish clay. Sometimes when a pot is fired, the clay around them can split out a little, but this won’t compromise the strength of the pot in any way. The lime helps to bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot.
