A trio of 50cm Terracotta Fresco Troughs sit near the entrance to the Culpeper Garden at Leeds Castle, Kent. Why not position the Terracotta Fresco Trough against a wall and plant with a scented evergreen climber. We like using Clematis Armandii. It has a vigorous vine that produces an interesting architectural display and the white blooms work well with the soft tones of the Italian terracotta.
