  • Hanging baskets for a north facing wall

    Looking at the back of our house the other day, and thought to myself "needs a bit of cheering up does that". Then second thought occured to me (had to have a sit down at this point) - can one have hanging baskets on a north facing wall? Actually, after thinking just a little bit longer I altered my question to ask - "what plants could one put in hanging baskets on a north facing wall?"

    I then slipped from conciousness for a bit and woke up with a llama.

    Any ideas?

    About the hanging baskets that is, not the llama.

        I think north facing walls are great for hanging baskets - they don't dry out as quickly
        Trailing ivy could be good, devil's plant (otherwise known as busy lizzies), pansies, polyanthus (spring), lobelia, creeping jenny and ferns too. Lots of stuff, probably not geraniums or petunia as not sunny enough.
        What about a pot with a trellis above and a little clematis or climbing plant in it?
        Was it Bean's llama or your own?

          Quite few plants & flowers then? More than I thought anyway.

          Can't really put any pots along the back wall - we have to keep it free to allow the water to draing away (had problems before with the patio flooding)

          The llama was his own man, said his name was Harvey.

                As Vicky's suggestions Wayne and Violas.

                From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

                  We have some very shaded areas in our present garden, underneath bushes and trees. Bizzie Lizzies have thrived there most years and look really nice for splashes of colour.
