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 3: Use the wire cutters to cut three equal lengths of craft wire to your desired hanging length. Thread the coloured beads onto the lengths of wire in whatever pattern you like. 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.
