Hanging baskets & tubs
We do not stint when it comes to our hanging baskets - we use high quality compost, slow-release fertiliser and a generous dose of healthy, happy plants for long lasting displays.
As well as baskets, we also plant up pots, tubs and containers for colourful displays popular throughout the season, including for Mothering Sunday, Easter, summertime and winter.

Refill prices are based on the size of your baskets and - if they are wire - if you would like the sides planted too, with prices starting from £19 for 12" diameter. New baskets can also be planted to order. Choose from a range of styles of wicket baskets, from £5 plus filling.
Baskets can be brought in in April, May and June for refilling by us. As they cannot go out until the risk of frosts has passed we do not sell summer baskets before May.
If you would like to make up your own baskets and patio planters at home we have a wide range of suitable plants to choose from in our Monks Eleigh shop, from mid April to July.
You can also take advantage of our expertise and order Basket Bundles online - all the plants you need and a guide explaining what you need to do. Scroll down to see the guides!

For a 14" basket we would recommend one upright plant for the centre, such as a zonal geranium, fuchsia, begonia or Madeira, surrounded by a mix of 4-6 trailing and semi-trailing plants. For a really full effect, busy lizzies (Impatiens) and bedding begonias are invaluable as "fillers".
Begonias, Fuchsias, Impatiens and Violas are the best choices for shadier spots; Lobelias, Petunias and Bacopas can also perform well.
Begonias and Fuchsias are also easy-care options as they need little deadheading. Zonal Geraniums and trailing Ivy Geraniums need less watering than most other hanging basket plants.
There are a good number of plants that are beneficial to pollinators. Most single-flowered Fuchsias, Bacopas, Bidens and Diascias are attractive to bees. Try Verbenas, Lobelias and Heliotropes for the butterflies; and Petunias and Calibrachoas (Million Bells) for moths.
