Hanging Baskets 

Overview

Hanging baskets are an excellent way to add vertical interest and vibrant colour to any garden, patio, or balcony. These ready-to-display arrangements are perfect for those looking

to maximise space and create eye-catching displays with minimal effort. At UK Wholesale Plants, we offer a wide variety of high-quality hanging baskets designed for both summer

and winter planting, ensuring your outdoor spaces remain attractive throughout the year.

What are Hanging Baskets?


Hanging baskets are containers filled with a mix of plants, designed to be hung from walls,

ceilings, or stands. They are typically filled with trailing and cascading plants that spill over

the sides, creating a lush, overflowing effect. Hanging baskets are popular for their

versatility and the instant impact they provide in adding colour and greenery to small or

limited spaces.

Planting and Care Tips

Planting Time

The best time to plant summer hanging baskets is in late spring, once the risk

of frost has passed. Winter hanging baskets should be planted in early autumn to establish before the colder weather arrives.

Site Selection

Choose a location with adequate sunlight or partial shade, depending

on the plant variety.

Soil Preparation

Use high-quality potting compost with good drainage to prevent

waterlogging.

Planting Process

Line the basket with moss or a liner to retain soil and moisture.



1.

Prepare the Basket

Fill the basket with potting compost up to the halfway point.


2.

Fill with Compost

Position the plants in the basket, starting with trailing plants around

the edges and upright plants in the centre.

3.

Arrange Plants

Fill the basket with more compost, firming it gently around the plants.

Leave space at the top for watering.

4.

Fill and Firm

Water thoroughly after planting to help the plants establish.
