Petunias and Geraniums

Petunias and geraniums are among the most popular choices for spring container gardens (especially hanging baskets), and for good reason. Their vivid, vibrant flowers bring a much-needed burst of colour after the drab winter months. While petunias' large flowers remain low, geraniums stand tall and proud, boasting clusters of brightly coloured flowers. Their combined growth habits make for a visually balanced container, ensuring every inch of space is well-utilised. Keep these sun-lovers in a spot where they receive at least six hours of sunlight each day. Regular feeding and deadheading will also keep them blooming happily all spring long.
