  • How many plants can you cram into a hanging basket?

    I have 48 lobelia and impatiens plug plants, thanks to Wilko's 2 for 1 offer How many is it realistic to get into 30cm hanging baskets?
    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."

      Don't forget to leave room for geraniums in the top though!

        Depends on how much watering and feeding you want to do.

          Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

            Don't do metric but for a 12" basket I normally put in
            • 1 upright Fuchsia or Geranium in the middle
            • 3 trailing Fuchsia's or Geraniums
            • 3 trailing petunia's
            • Then any gaps - Lobelia plug (at least 6)


            I don't normally plant in the sides of the basket as they wouldn't get any light

            If it's a bigger basket I plant in 5's and smaller ones I just grow 3 Fuchsia's or Geraniums these are always 1 variety and normally make the stock plant for the following year

            Never be afraid to try something new.
