Hanging baskets are as individual as the person making them. Fill them with a single plant, like Begonia ‘Apricot Shades Improved’ or Petunia ‘Night Sky’ (the world’s first speckled petunia), or mix things up with tried-andtested combinations such as fuchsia, pelargonium, petunia and trailing lobelia, with longstemmed Helichrysum petiolare to fill some of the space beneath.
