I like heavy, glazed clay the best. Of course, that's the most expensive option. I have found that wood rots and plastic breaks down in the sun cracks. I like heavy, glazed clay the best.

I much prefer metal planters, even though they cost more, it is worth it in the long run if you get a quality product.

Although you wisely recommend against wood I do like the look of planted up wooden pots - but I agree it will get expensive to keep replacing them when the rot sets in.

We also have a copper pot, wooden, concrete and sandstone. We get what we can on sale, free, yard sales etc... being frugal is important :) We are using plastic and so far so good.

They are just as good as concrete but much more elegant with Grecian figures raised on the sides. They stood up to several severe winters, just left out with the soil still in them. They were available in several colours, I chose natural sandstone. May I have been using lovely sandstone pots made on Vancouver Island, for quite a few years now.
