Wall Baskets 2018

We have three wall baskets to be filled this year and I found some wonderful new plants as well as some tried and tested ones

When I first did the wall baskets the most amazing one was Bidens and Bacopa which looked like this and they were covered in polinators.




I wanted to go for something similar this year as it was such a success. They had these beautiful Bidens Blazing Glory I team them with white Bacopa and found these Sanvitalia Gold queen I am very excited to see how this one turns out with the beautiful bright yellows and oranges. 



I decided to try a Fuchsia this year, I have mixed feelings on them but they are lovey and thought it was worth trying them out. I chose Dark Eyes which is semi trailing and then planted Calibrachoa Cabaret in dark blue (purple to you and me) and rose. These colours so go so well together, I not wait to see.








Lastly I feel for these Brachycome Blue Brazil, such pretty flowers which again were new to me, I plnated them with Sutera Baja in white and then found Lophoseermum they looked almost regal and the lady next to me told me they were beautiful when in flower so i had to give them a go




All these plants can cope with some shade as the baskets get the sunshine in the afternoon, so I had to choose them a little more carefully. All these new plants are going to be interesting and I just hope my ideas work as well in reality as in my head.
