|
Hanging baskets are very a popular way to grow and display a wide range of plants. Well suited to patios and small spaces hanging baskets allow plants to grow at eye level for maximum impact. A wide variety of plants and flowers are suited to growing in hanging baskets including fuchsias, begonias, ferns, herbs and many other flowering plants. Trailling plants are a favourite in hanging baskets, foliage that is allowed to cascade down looks great. However upright plants can also work well depending on the height that the hanging basket is set at. Hanging basket stands or supports are a great way to display a number of hanging baskets at different levels in the one area. 2 to 5 tiered stands are available from Garden Centres. Hanging Basket Liners are used to line the wire basket. Liners are specially made from materials including coco fibre and felt. Hanging basket liners are designed to be water retentive.
