    I want to make several hanging baskets to hang from my pergola, but last year i made trailing begonia ones and they were pretty rubbish. Im looking for one plant that grows wild and will fill a 10" basket. Any ideas of what i could put in it.
    Thanks

    Sorry Snapshot I've only just seen this. Trailing Fuschias are usually quite good in baskets but they are hungry and thirsty plants, so will need a bit of extra maintenance. :)

        Does anybody know of any good trailing plants for baskets that are bee-friendly?
