With a little care and attention, it’s possible to keep your pre-planted hanging baskets blooming all summer. Here are six tips from our horticultural team to help you enjoy a fabulous, long-lasting display. 

  • Check your hanging baskets every day and water if required. This is vital if you want big, healthy baskets filled with flowers.
  • Water early in the morning to help your plants cope with the stress of very hot days. In a heatwave, you may need to water again in the evening. 
  • If the flowers in your baskets wilt, the roots will also shrivel making it harder for them to absorb water. Give your baskets a thorough soak but catch the run-off in a bucket and return it, along with the nutrients it contains, to the basket. Your plants need those nutrients to flower well. 
  • Summer bedding plants rely entirely on the soil in the basket for their nutrients so it’s important to feed every 10-14 days from April to September. A low and steady supply of nutrients is the best method. 
  • Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep your plants blooming. Do this as frequently as possible to keep your baskets looking their best.
  • Trim back leggy growth to encourage your plants to produce new, bushy growth from the base. 

Pre-planted hanging baskets are an easy way to brighten up your outdoor space. Professionally curated by our head gardener – the colours, varieties and flowering times have been carefully considered to give you a show-stopping display. And once the season is over, you can always buy a collection of colour-themed plug plants to re-fill your empty baskets the following year.

Hanging baskets provide instant kerb appeal for a front entrance or a welcome splash of bright colour for your back garden. Choose pre-planted hanging baskets if you want a quick solution, or browse our full range of hanging basket plants if you like to design your own display. You’ll find plenty of tips on how to choose the best hanging basket in our helpful article.
