What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Herb Planter
How does the drainage system work?
The herb planter features a drainage hole in the base that allows excess water to drain into the matching saucer below. This prevents waterlogging whilst keeping herbs properly hydrated. Empty the saucer periodically to prevent standing water.
What size is this herb planter?
The planter measures 14.85cm wide x 10.8cm high x 14.85cm deep. This size suits a small bunch of fresh herbs or a single supermarket herb pot transplanted for longer-lasting freshness. To verify fit, measure your existing herb pots before purchasing.
Can I use this outdoors?
Whilst the stoneware is durable and weather-resistant, Le Creuset doesn't specify outdoor use. The glazed finish may be affected by prolonged exposure to outdoor elements. We recommend indoor use on windowsills or kitchen counters where you can easily access herbs whilst cooking.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Yes, both the planter and saucer are dishwasher safe for a full cycle. Wait for them to cool down before cleaning. You can also wash by hand with warm, soapy water if preferred.
How do I keep herbs fresh in this planter?
Add water to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged - the drainage hole prevents overwatering. Place on a bright windowsill but avoid direct intense sunlight which can scorch delicate leaves. Trim herbs regularly to encourage growth. Empty the saucer when water accumulates.
Can I plant herbs directly in this, or do I need to keep them in their original pot?
You can do either. Transplant herbs directly into the planter with potting compost for a permanent solution, or simply place a supermarket herb pot inside for convenience. The 14cm diameter accommodates most standard herb pots sold in UK supermarkets.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash both the planter and saucer in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residue.
Daily maintenance: Check soil moisture regularly - herbs typically need water when the top centimetre of soil feels dry. Pour water into the planter and allow excess to drain into the saucer. Empty the saucer to prevent standing water, which can cause root rot and attract insects.
Cleaning: Wait for the planter to cool down before cleaning (if you've used it in the oven, though this isn't typical for herbs). Wipe away soil residue and wash in warm, soapy water by hand, or place both pieces in the dishwasher for a full cycle. If soil becomes stuck on, soak for 15-20 minutes before washing.
Storage: If you need to clean out the planter between herbs, scrub thoroughly to remove old roots and soil. The stoneware's non-porous glaze prevents bacteria retention, making it suitable for replanting immediately after cleaning.
