Perfect for pots!

They make a strong statement when combined in ornamental pots. For a shade-loving hanging basket try:

Hosta ‘Francee’ AGM

Grow compact hostas in baskets to outwit slugs and snails. ‘Francee’ has rippled mid-green leaves with creamy-white edges, plus its tall flower spikes of lavender blue blooms in summer. Hxsp: 55x50cm

Athyrium niponicum

With its deeply cut, grey-green fronds and flashes of purple and silver, the Japanese painted fern is a very chic plant. It’s ideal for shade as too much sun will scorch the leaves. Hxsp: 30x60cm

Pelargonium ‘Blanche Roche’

This ivy-leaved Pelargonium not only trails over the sides but adds height with elegant white flowers. They also feature splashes of magenta in the centre.

H: 38cm trails: 20cm
