Terracotta

Terracotta is a type of earthenware clay that is baked and used in landscaping for decorative elements such as pots, planters, tiles, and garden ornaments. Known for its distinctive reddish-brown color, terracotta adds a warm, rustic charm to outdoor spaces. It is porous, which allows for good air and water circulation, making it ideal for plant containers. However, terracotta can crack in freezing temperatures, so it may require protection in colder climates. It is also used in paving and roofing tiles, adding to the aesthetic appeal of Mediterranean and traditional garden designs.
