Absolutely! Keeping your hanging flower baskets lush and blooming all summer takes a bit of care and strategy—but the results are worth it. 🌸🌿 Here are brilliant, practical tips to help your flowers thrive from June through August:
🌼 Top Tips to Keep Hanging Flowers Blooming All Summer
1. Water Consistently (and Deeply)
Hanging baskets dry out faster than garden beds.
Water daily—sometimes twice a day during hot spells.
Water until you see it drain from the bottom to ensure roots are hydrated.
2. Feed Every Week
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (like 10-10-10 or a bloom booster like 15-30-15).
Feed once a week or every 5–7 days to replace nutrients washed out by frequent watering.
3. Deadhead and Trim Regularly
Remove dead blooms and spent flowers to encourage new growth.
Trim back leggy stems to keep the basket full and bushy—this prevents the plant from going to seed.
4. Rotate Your Baskets
Turn baskets every few days so all sides get equal sun and grow evenly.
Prevents lopsided growth and gives every bloom a chance to shine.
5. Choose the Right Plants
Use summer-hardy, heat-loving, long-blooming plants like:
Petunias
