New this year to the Rago UK range are the Rustic Planters and Corten Effect Plants, both designs causing much interest at the show. With a diameter of 110cm, the Giant Bowl retailing at £500 makes a bold statement but can still be lifted by two people.

This is down to the material used to make the Rago pots which is marketed as Stonelite. It is a fibre clay made with two types of naturally occurring magnesium salts which when blended, sets much like concrete. Just 1% of the pot is fibreglass mesh which aids the pot's durability and adds to its benefits of improved UV and frost resistance. Additionally, the dyes are mixed throughout the material, so the colour remains if the pot is knocked or scuffed.

 "Most people will recognise fibre clay but we are using the traditional mix from 20 years ago which lasts longer than the modern mix," says Jason Frost.

Although Rago UK was only launched three years ago, Jason says it already has customers including Waitrose and Blue Diamond plus independent retailers.

Bespoke price tags individual to each retailer can be attached to the pots if required and pots have pre-drilled holes each with a bung so customers can use the pots indoors or outside.
