Tips for winter container colour
To get the best displays from your winter and spring hanging baskets and containers, plant them now. Here are a few of our handy hints to get you growing:
- Plants to use include ivy, dwarf conifers and dwarf shrubs, winter-flowering pansies, hardy primulas and polyanthus.
- Add bulbs, underplanted, to extend your display in the spring.
- Check out our extensive range of plants, containers, baskets, basket liners, brackets and compost and remember to add a controlled-release fertiliser.
- Keep your garden full of colour throughout autumn with heathers, hydrangeas, potentillas, asters, echinacea, phlox, rudbeckias, hardy chrysanthemums, cyclamen and winter-flowering pansies.
- Remember plants that are grown for berries, autumn foliage colours and the wide range of evergreens available too.
