Spring / Summer Hanging Basket
Winter Hanging Basket
What you will need
- A hanging basket
- e.g. a wire frame, rattan or wicker material
- 30, 35 or 40cm (12, 14 or 16")
- Use a moss hanging basket liner to retain soil
- For a 12" hanging basket choose a 12" basket liner
- Push the liner into the basket & tidy up the edges
Choose your compost
- A peat free compost is better for hanging baskets as it dries out less quickly
Preparing you basket
- A good tip is to place your basket on a bucket to prevent it moving or falling over
- Begin by adding some compost to your basket
- Next add a water retaining mat to minimise the need for watering
- Then add some more compost & start positioning your plants
Positioning the plants
- Start with the largest plants
- Place these in the centre or towards the back of the basket
- Then choose the medium sized plants & position
- Finally add the trailing plants & place these over the front & sides of the basket
Once planted
- Add more compost & press plants in well
- Add a slow-release fertiliser
- Water basket & place in a greenhouse until plants are established
Where to position your basket
- Pick a location that maximises the impact of the basket - but try to avoid a full sun or full shade locations
- Make sure the wall bracket and bolts are strong enough to support the basket
Good plants for a summer basket
- Geraniums, Petunias, Verbenas, Lobelias, Begonias & Fuchsias
Good plants for a spring basket
- Pansies, Violas, Ivys, Arabis, Aubrietia, & Alyssum
