Add effortless charm to patios, porches, and garden corners with the RHS Flowers for Hanging Baskets Collection – a handpicked selection of blooms specifically chosen by Royal Horticultural Society experts for their exceptional basket performance. Developed in partnership with Mr Fothergill’s Seeds, this curated collection brings together six stunning flower varieties that trail, tumble, and spill gracefully from your hanging baskets or containers.
From cheerful violas to striking bicolour nemesia, and from cascading lobelia to the uniquely charming thunbergia (Black-eyed Susan), this mix delivers season-long displays of colour, fragrance, and form. Each seed variety is individually packed for ease of use and versatility in design, allowing you to plan your planting and colour combinations with precision.
Whether you're aiming to brighten up a small balcony, decorate a shed wall, or create a lush vertical feature, this collection offers something for every style – and all varieties are easy to grow, even for beginner gardeners. Pair with trailing petunias or compact ornamental grasses for a full, textural display that will turn heads all season.
