I was really pleased with the wall baskets this year as I tried a lot of new plants. Definitely getting to the garden centre early meant I had such a better choice of plants.
Bidens Blazing Glory with white Bacopa and Sanvitalia Gold queen. This was OK, the Sanvitalia Gold Queen was a very upright plant and took a lot of the space, meaning the Bidens got crowded out. I will get the Bidens again as the colour was fantastic and as ever Bacopa went crazy but did not flower that well. I have just gone through all my photos and have not taken any more of this basket. which is quite surprising. So here is one at the end of its life as you can see
I really liked the fuchsia which surprised me, this basket looked great and the colours really comlented each other. Dark Eyes Fuisha with Calibrachoa Cabaret in dark blue and pink. In fact I loved them so much I brought more Fuishas for another planter I have. The Fuisha did suffer with the heat and stopped flowering pretty early on. Think it needed a little more TLC than I gave it.
Lastly I feel for these Brachycome Blue Brazil, Sutera Baja in white and then found Lophoseermum. I loved this basket it was all new plants to me and they looked amazing. Such pretty colours and I will def be using all these again. Though they went over fairly early in the season and not sure if that was my care, the weather or the plants.
I was completely thrilled with these and have lots more ideas for next year. Looking forward to getting to the garden centre early so I can find these really interesting plants and more and use them all in different ways.
