Torc Pots : Kari
The handcrafted Kari from Torc Pots is the epitome of gentle curves, yet has a grounded and stable presence. Kari will keep your potted plant choices protected either by echoing the curvature of perhaps an Ilex crenata ‘Convexa’ Niwaki or a stark shapely contrast of say a Taxus cone.

Torc Pots : Nia
The Nia from Torc Pots is less about height and more about presence. The wide and shallow handcrafted shape creates a strong horizontal line if holding a delicate Acer, or providing purposeful structure when packed full of low lying exotics. Available at our nursery in a range of finishes and size options, but if you are looking to further refine the size, finish or design we can help you with this, too.

Deeply dark green foliage, very dinky leaves all glossy and sticky-looking and with a naturally dense nature. Combined with elegant but strong and decoratively-barked trunks, it makes Phillyrea a no-brainer choice for training into a variety of architectural forms.

Pachysandra terminalis
Pachysandra terminalis at Architectural Plants is a grand little plant with unusually shaped, shiny leaves that is perfect for covering exposed ground in shady spots. While it prefers the moist-but-well-drained soils to which we all aspire, often the ground under trees is dry, so candidates for these spots are limited but Pachysandra terminalis may well provide your solution. Water until established and it will grow well even here, albeit a little more slowly. This is not a tall shrublet, maybe reaching 50cm in height, but each plant can spread over 1m or even 1.5m diameter.
