Plastic half-pots - any supplier known?

There are still some suppliers of terracotta half-pots or pans as they used to be known by alpine growers - those pots of a more shallow nature than the usual type. Does anyone know of a supplier of such pots in plastic?

I found an Italian supplier who makes fairly shallow large planters/pors but I suspect these are not suitable.

Then there is

- which seem to be less deep than some.

is this the best we can advise, do you think?

These any good?
I looks like they only sell wholesale but contact with them might produce a local supplier's details.

Maggie
depends on how many you want - if you want a case of more have a look at LBS or East Riding Horticulture
I tend to get boxes from ERH as they tend to have good stocks of most things
I do like square rounds now
Something like this is not bad for £15 delivered

Not sure how many he's likely to want, Graeme - but I'll pass on all advice.
Thanks.

Azalea pots are half pots, essentially. They appear to be exclusively USA. Maybe arrange some bulk imports?
