Basket Column Kit for Large Pots

This basket column kit was given to me by my grandchildren. It is in the front of my garage. All of my neighbors comment how beautiful it is, and I thoroughly enjoy it every time I come home!

My flower choices this year are the following: yellow double begonias, creeping jenny, impatiens, purple & fuchsia brachyscome, red and white verbena, purple and white verbena, light yellow petunias, and a spike plant for height.

Basket Column Kit for Large Pots

I placed Basket Column kits on either side of my garden bench where I can sit and enjoy their beauty and take in the heavenly scent! I planted "Wicked Witch" coleus as the centerpiece, then filled the basket with "Chocolate Drop" coleus, "Sweetheart Lime" ipomoea, the palest lavender and some bright pink wave petunias. The large pot contains vinca vine (pulled from my garden), "Raspberry Ripple" zinnias, and "Lovie Dovie" supertunias. I'm amazed at how easy it was to create an impressive display using these containers!

Basket Column Kits for Large Pots

Plants used are mandevilla on top, petunia and calibrachoa on the sides and petunia and yellow licorice on the bottom. I chose hardy petunia because they get a lot of sun next to windows, not much water under awnings.

Wooden Border Column w/ 16" Double Basket Planter

I usually do red, white and blue but decided to mix it up. On the pole planter are: Lana Angel Wing begonias with Pink Passion wave petunias intercept with Euphorbia Stardust Superflash. On the bottom are Purple and Orchid Blush sun patiens with Lysimachia Goldilocks.

Wooden Border Column w/20" Double Basic Basket Planter

This was our first Pamela Crawford planter and we couldn't be more pleased with the ease of planting, the spectacular results and the many compliments we receive. We chose two varieties of coleus, mixed color sunpatiens and mixed color wax begonias. The centerpiece plant is red salvia. All total this took 38 plants and resulted in a display that is very dramatic! As a bonus, with the exception of watering, this was very low maintenance with only the coleus requiring periodic pinching back. We can't wait to plan next year's planter and hopefully add even more Pamela Crawford planters.

16" Double Imperial Hanging Basket

I have one basket hanging on each side of my garage door. They each contain a spike as the middle plant, plus mixed 'Wizard' Coleus, Chocolate Mint Coleus, Impatiens (red, salmon and white), and bacopa flowing out the bottom. All of these annuals I grew from seed in my greenhouse.

Our garden was on a local Garden Walk last weekend, and although I have three extensive garden "rooms" in my yard, these baskets garnered the most attention from 300+ visitors. I am sold on these baskets and have had them for years, also on my patio, back of the house and fence with different flower combinations. This combination really popped this year. Thanks for these quality baskets!
