Price History
Description
Made from a lightweight, yet robust stone composite, this Ella trough planter from Ivyline is frostproof, rust-resistant and UV stable, with an efficient drainage system to prevent plants from becoming waterlogged in wet weather. Ideal for a windowsill or balcony, the planter has a clever built-in drainage system in its base to catch excess water in a reservoir and store it for dry days so the roots can draw water when required.
Our Stylist Says
I love this balcony trough for its clean, contemporary look and practical size. The black finish adds a sleek, modern touch that works well in urban or minimalist interiors, but it can also provide a striking contrast against more colourful or textured backdrops. It's ideal for small to medium balcony gardens or outdoor spaces where space is limited but you still want a functional, stylish planter. For styling, consider planting cascading herbs or trailing plants like ivy or lobelia to spill over the edges, creating a lush, effortless vibe. Position it on a balcony railing or along a compact outdoor terrace for maximum impact without clutter, and it’s versatile enough to blend seamlessly into a range of design aesthetic from industrial to modern.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
