For a fragrant treat on a warm summer evening, position this hanging basket near the patio or a window so you can catch its scent on the wind. Choose a dwarf lavender, such as the compact 'Bella Series', as the centrepiece, and surround it with one or several different varieties of thyme for a good mix of colour and flavours.
Plant it:
April - May
At its best:

Fill the basket with compost mixed with water-retaining crystals and slow-release fertiliser. Position the dwarf lavender in the centre of the basket and surround it with thyme.
"At the end of summer, plant out the thyme and lavender into a sunny, well-drained spot in the garden."
