Hanging baskets & seasonal colour
Hanging baskets and seasonal containers, planted up and ready to hang, on sale from May.
When it's at its best
A hanging basket is a small volume of compost supporting a lot of growth, in full sun, for months. It runs out of feed long before it runs out of growing season.
Choosing a hanging basket
What to look for
- A good mix: something upright, something bushy to fill, and trailing plants to spill over the edge.
- Check under the leaves for aphids, and look for slugs, snails or mildew before it goes home.
- The compost should feel evenly moist; a basket that has dried right out is hard to wet again.
- A summer basket of tender plants should not hang outside until the frosts are over.
What to ask us
- Has this basket been hardened off, and is it safe to hang out yet?
- How often should I feed it through the summer, and with what?
- Which plants in a basket cope best if I miss a watering?
- What could go in a basket for winter, once the summer one is over?
