Too good to throw away: With a little hessian, you can give an unsightly hanging basket a whole new look in no time. This modern, upcycled piece is the perfect showcase for a two-tone trailing geranium. Tip: Drape the fabric loosely around the container and fix it in place with hot glue. The folds are intended. Geraniums come in a wide variety of colours and growth habits. There’s very little difference between the many cultivars in their requirements for location and care. Plenty of space, plenty of light and regular watering and fertilising are the main requirements for this easy-care beauty to flower non-stop from spring to autumn.
