Hanging Baskets ?" A Brilliant Idea
Summary:
Hanging baskets add beauty and charm to outdoor spaces and can be as simple or elaborate as you like. They look stunning when hung from lamp posts, porches, patio rafters, or Shepard hooks. You can also use strategically placed brackets from garden or hardware stores to showcase them.
Creating Beautiful Hanging Baskets
When planting hanging baskets, fill them with trailing, flowering plants and consider adding one or two upright plants in the center for balance. Peat-lined wire baskets from home improvement stores work best as they allow you to plant through the sides and bottom, creating a globe-like display of blooms.
Choosing the Right Plants
Great trailing flowering plants include petunias, verbena, lipstick plants, trillium, and bridal veil. Alyssum, while not technically trailing, provides solid color patches and blooms all summer. Choose from pure white, yellow, or variegated purple shades. You can also mix in non-bloomers like Creeping Charlie and various herbs.
Planting Tips
When planting, space your young plants about 3-4 inches apart to allow for growth. Feed your plants with nutrient-rich compost that lasts the entire growing season, or use slow-release pellets. Alternatively, apply liquid feed once or twice every two weeks.
Watering and Maintenance
Ensure your baskets are well-watered. If daily watering is challenging, consider installing a drip system with a water timer, available at home improvement stores in early spring.
Placement Considerations
Consider where to place your hanging baskets. Most annuals thrive in full sun, providing continuous blooms with minimal deadheading. For shaded areas, opt for trailing fuchsias in various vibrant colors.
