Hanging baskets that actually thrive
A good hanging basket isn't about cramming it full. It's about choosing plants that match your light and watering them properly.
Match the spot
Sunny porch? Trailing petunias and verbena. Shady corner? Trailing fuchsia and begonias.
Water daily in summer
Baskets dry out fast. A morning soak and a midday top-up in heatwaves keeps them happy.
Deadhead weekly
Five minutes with a pair of scissors keeps a basket flowering for months.
