Good vibes guaranteed: Colourful geraniums make this hanging basket, fashioned from an old kitchen sieve and colourful strings of beads, a fantastic decorative idea for any garden party. For geraniums to grow and produce flowers well into autumn, these easy-care plants need plenty of space. As most kitchen sieves are unlikely to be deep enough in the long term, we recommend only using this upcycled hanging basket as a temporary geranium container. You can create this suspended decoration project in just a few steps. STEP 5: Finally, plant the trailing geranium in the sieve and suspend your upcycling hanging basket with strong rope or cord in a sunny to semi-shady spot in your garden or on your patio. Water in small amounts. In summer, geraniums are considered the queen of bedding and balcony plants. There are many reasons for this: They are easy to care for, hardy and diverse. They also bloom abundantly and continuously from spring through to autumn. Upright geraniums - also known as zonal geraniums - are ideal for pots and containers.
