This question was asked by
I am wanting to create a 16″ basket for Autumn/Winter with a little trailing if possible.
Can you please advise plants required. Colour is not important as I love them all.
i bought some from Richard at the Southport Flower show and they are looking great.
Hi Sylvia
Thanks for your question
I have attached link below for one of the best plants for hanging baskets
It would nice if you mixed it with other upright heucheras, that way it isn’t all hanging down with a flat top, if you see what I mean?
You didn’t say if it was sun or shade
So assuming it sun heuchera marmalade or gojiberry is good in a basket, with maybe a heuchera shimmering violet to give a colour contrast
If it’s shady choose limes to go with the Redstone falls as they grow very well in shade and would give the basket a bit of contrast.
Heucheras like lime marmalade, heucherella catching fire etc
To make the basket very full 4-5 plants but if your ok to let it grow a bit (it wont take long choose 3-4 plants
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Vicky
