Trailing Pansies Hanging Baskets

Introducing trailing Pansies they have made such a simple yet vibrant hanging basket for the last couple of months.

I have used Dalefoot compost, its made using wool and holds water really well and is also peat free. Fill the basket about two thirds full then take the pansies in their pots and arrange them, think about how the colours will look and go with each other, this one contained 6 plants that were on offer for £5. I always go for a scheme with each basket this one was yellow and purple .








Once they look just right fill in the compost, this is fiddly and I tend to do with out gloves. Keep checking all the empty space has been filled. Give them a good water and hang up.




These have given us colour and survived this quite horrid winter covered in deep snow.




What a simple way to get you smiling through the hard winter months, I planted these at the start of February and they are still going strong.
