Where can I buy nice ones that are not terracotta & don't cost ££££?

Thanks

These have a good range there’s a box on the left tick for large. The first one that pop up are £££££ but if you sort from price low-high there are some very reasonable ones.

For indoors or out?

I really like wicker and rope baskets as planters you can line them with a big cheap plastic pot or square ones with a plastic box - which can't be seen.

This may not be what you are after but when I was aiming to fill my yard with colour, I bought those large black buckets from B&Q. Cost less than 90p and all I had to do was drill a few holes (you do that with lots of other planters anyway as you adjust the water retention as per your needs). The corner of the bucket is hardly visible once you fill it in with planters. The buckets are solid and are still going strong. Smile

I got some from QD stores a while back which are still going strong. Boot sales might be open soon, and they are likely the cheapest option.

Forgot to say that I took out the bucket handles

Wilko had some nice large planters, reasonably priced, last week, but their stock changes constantly.

Waitrose have got some large pots that a teal, green or a bright blue.

@Experimenopause- Are you referring to those flexible, plastic tubs you can carry stuff in? I used those 2yrs ago. They were cheap and worked really well- UNTIL, they started to split and degrade.

The handles now snap whenever I try moving them and all but 1 has a massive split down the side. Great for a year at most, but the sun must degrade the thin plastic after a longer time. Might work ok if kept in a shady spot.

Yes those are the ones. It’s interesting you say that because mine are all in shade ever since I bought them. That could be why they have survived so long.
