Geranium and verbena pot display

1Suspend the basket to make planting up the sides easier and add a coir liner, preferably one with holes in the sides. Fill the basket two-thirds with compost, mixed with a couple of handfuls of water-retaining gel.

2Plant up the sides with two each of the geraniums and dichondra, gently pushing the rootballs through the holes from the outside to avoid damaging the leaves.

3In the centre of the basket, plant the verbenas, and alternate the rest of the geraniums and dichondra around the edges. Add some slow-release fertiliser to the compost.

4Fill up the basket with compost to 2cm below the rim, pushing it down firmly with your fingers as you go. Water in well and allow the basket to drain before transferring it to its bracket.
