Allotments 4 All

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?!
