Deep Perennial Systems Pot | 5.25in W x 5.93in H - Max Liquid Volume: 2.04qt - Tag Locator - Black (Case of 256)

Extra-Depth Pot Engineered for Perennial Root Systems, 5.25in

Perennials generally develop deeper root systems than annual bedding stock, and a shallow pot built for annuals cuts that root system off before it's had room to establish. The HC Companies Deep Perennial Systems Pot is built with extra soil depth specifically for perennial root habit, and pairs with compatible trays so handling stays efficient even with the deeper format.

This 5.25in W x 5.93in H pot holds 2.04qt maximum liquid volume, includes a tag locator, ships in cases of 256, and pairs with TCS05881 trays for larger perennial stock.

Key Features & Benefits

• Large soil capacity — gives perennial root systems more depth than a standard-depth pot of the same footprint.
• Built-in tag locator slot — keeps plant identification tags visible and secured rather than loose during handling.
• Tray-compatible handling — pairs with matched trays to reduce per-pot handling labor across a bench.
• Deep perennial systems design — purpose-built for the deeper root habit typical of perennial stock.

Who Should Use This

Perennial growers who need more root depth than a standard annual pot provides, along with the labor savings of tray-based handling, are the right fit for the Deep Perennial Systems line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this pot deeper than a standard annual pot?

Perennials generally develop root systems that extend further down than typical annual bedding stock, and a shallow pot can restrict that development before the plant is established. The extra depth here is built specifically to give perennial roots the room they need.

Does this pot include a tag locator?

Yes, a built-in slot holds a plant identification tag securely in place, so it stays visible through handling rather than sliding loose. That saves time compared with taping or wedging a tag into the soil.

What trays are compatible with this pot?

It pairs with tray codes matched to its specific footprint for organized bench handling. Confirm the listed tray codes against your existing inventory before ordering a full case.

How does tray-based handling save labor?

Pairing pots with matched trays lets a crew move, water, and space out many containers at once instead of handling each pot individually, which adds up across a bench of perennial stock. That labor savings is part of why HC Companies engineers pots and trays as matched systems rather than as separate products.
