Wicker Basket Planter FAQs
Wicker basket planters are a versatile and exciting way to add colour to the garden. They can be utilised for taller annual plants such as geraniums, if you have a shady spot then begonias are a fantastic option, and for the patio they can even serve as useful herb planters to add freshness to your food. The trick is to fill them about two thirds full with good quality potting soil. Avoid just using garden soil as this can slowly become too compacted for your plants to flourish.
Yes, you can. It is important however to buy wicker baskets which are specifically designed to be planters as moisture retention can cause issues otherwise. At Northern Willow, we offer a fabulous range of lined, wicker planter baskets perfect for elegantly displaying your plants and flowers.
Begin by placing a thick plastic lining over the top of the basket, making sure that no water can break through. Then place a small layer of pea gravel at the bottom of the basket and fill it with potting soil and place your plants in there. There you go, your wicker basket is now a stunning planter.
