We are also an authorized Stepables grower for the mid-South and an authorized retailer. We grow the Stepables program in the #4 (1801) Square pot configuration. In addition the pots all come with a barcode sticker on the pot.

The #6 pot we grow our #6 Poinsettias in is slightly larger at 6″ OD with a volume of 1.42 L (1.50 qt.).

Regarding all of our poinsettia and mum pots, all the specs are approximates and may vary some due to substitutions and availability issues.

What we call “1G” is officially the Shuttle Pot 670 Round Trade Gallon. It is 6.7″ wide and 5.875″ tall. It holds 2.54 L (2.68 qt.). It’s tray is 13.125″ x 19.75″.

We produce a lot of items in this container including Sunpatiens, Lantana, Tropical Hibiscus, Mandevilla, perennials, tomatoes and more.

The #8 pots we use often change from year to year due price, suppliers or other issues.

We try to use the same #8 pot for our #8 Ornamental Cabbage and Kale, #8 Mums and #8 Poinsettias but it doesn’t always work out that way.

Whatever happens, the #8 pot will be approximately 8″ OD and hold approximately 3.4 L (3.61 qt). Sizes will vary some.

We are transitioning to a new 10HB. The new basket is green and has a 10″ outside diameter (9″ inside diameter). It is 6.625″ tall and holds 5.7 L (1.51 gal.). The hangers are plastic 3 strand hangers. The pot is shown to the right.

In the past we have used swirl and ribbed designs. While the container has stayed pretty much the same, the visible design has changed. There may be a few pots of the old inventory show up in some plantings.

In the future, we may change back to some of the older designs as availability changes year to year.

We grow all our #10 spring and fall baskets in this container.

We also use #10 pots to grow our #10 Poinsettias.

We normally use the #10 Hanging Basket container shown above to grow our #10 Poinsettias. In some years we’ve had to substitute other containers but all were approximately the same size as the #10 we used.

Unfortunately we don’t have any pictures that show the pots. We have a lot of pictures of the poinsettias in general but not one with a clear view of the plant and container.

#10 Bowls TBD

We grow our #10 Succulent Bowls in this size.

Due to availability and supply issues. This pot and the specs can change without notice and this page may not be completely up to date on the specific pot but the overall size will remain the same.

#14 bowls have a 14″ OD and are 5.75″ tall. They hold 7.9 L (2.09 gal.).

The #12 Deco pots we use have a 12″ OD and hold approximately 9.5-10.5 L (2.5-2.9 gal.). We have been trying to use more decorative type containers that are darker in color with decorative looks the last several years.

We grow all the #12 Deco and all #12 Deco Combos in the #12 Deco pot.

Leftover inventory and supply chain issues could result in leftover pots that are different being used to use up old inventory or substitutions resulting in container changes. The sizer will remain approximately the same.

Our #12 pots that we grow our #12 mums in can vary year to year. Their dimension and volume will be the same approximations as the #12 Deco pots above. For now the pot shown is the container we plan to use which is 12″ OD/10.8 L (2.86 gal)
