Title: late summer hanging baskets
Post by: pigeonseed on August 27, 2008, 16:44:21
My lovely fragrant petunia has gone all straggly and brown although it's still flowering valiantly.

What are others doing with their hanging baskets now?
Is it too late to re-vamp it with any flowering plants?

I know that you can have ivy and all that malarky for winter baskets, but really it's a bit too depressing to be thinking about the flower-free season already!

Hmm...I've been thinking about this too.  I only have trailing Fuchsias in my baskets but one has died on me.   :(  Trailing Rosemary, Creeping Jenny and Bugle are all possibilities but I'd also welcome other suggestions.

has anyone tried Friolina Trailing Pansies - are they as winter hardy as people say when they're trying to sell them?!
