Always use a premium-quality potting mix for your basket, because it will contain lots of nutrients and wetting agents to retain water. You can also add a small amount of slow-release fertiliser – but be guided by the manufacturer’s instructions. We recently stayed two nights in this legendary castle hotel, one very unique living experience during our grand European tour. I had wanted to visit this Schloss for a very long time as I was interested in its connection to Queen Victoria. Luckily, a nice woman with dark hair at the reception the next day was able to sort this out for us. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere charming.
The next morning was the same when we ran into staff who barely acknowledged us which was a little off putting. However, the Schloss itself is beautiful and our room was lovely as were the grounds. I loved the traditional decor not being a fan of the cookie cutter modern designs all hotels seem to have these days. Use a marker to make a dot or X on the liners where you'll add plants. Space planting holes evenly, about 3 inches apart. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut planting holes in the liners where you made marks.
One of the best botanical gardens I... - Palmengarten
Small baskets can create as big an impact as larger ones—you just need to pick the right plants. The secret for success is to go for plants that stay smaller but have colorful leaves like coleus and variegated varieties of favorites like vinca. Add in an impatiens, and you'll have a colorful basket sure to brighten a shady spot all summer long. Here, butterfly orchid, an underused but long-blooming tomato relative, does the job perfectly. This colorful combo will prefer a shady spot, and will stop blooming once summer heat sets in. Even though they're old-fashioned, geraniums are still a top pick for hot, sunny garden beds—and they mix well with just about everything.
It's tough to pick which is brighter—the hot pink geraniums and petunias or the bold yellow marigolds. Either way, they're great colors to catch the eye from a block away. Up close, the mix of bloom sizes creates visual interest on a more subtle level.
Try Contrasting Colors
As much as I loved the beauty of the hotel Lars,and Shobin, I think I would go back to the Villa Rothschild next time. Just a more welcoming, historical hotel and better value for the money overall. The highlight of our stay was Lars the manager and Shobin. Lars actually smiled at us and gave us a very informative tour of the hotel. He pointed out some very interesting facts, for example the room between two floors.
All of these plants will do well in part shade. Golden and chartreuse foliage are an excellent choice for adding color and excitement to a shady spot. Here, the yellow tones of a sweet potato vine contrast well with the hot pink blooms of a fuchsia.
Communal Veggie Garden
Create a container that's as pleasing to your nose as it is your eyes by using fragrant plants. This combo mixes the spicy scent of dianthus with the subtle sweetness of viola for a basket you'll want next to a window or on your deck or patio. Also on the list for long-lasting and colourful blooms are geraniums, fuchsias and even the dwarf-growing varieties of that Mother’s Day favourite, the chrysanthemum. The outdoor area is well kept with different types of trees and flowers. Flowers are blooming everywhere in spring/summer time.
These warm reds and pinks combine into a fireball of color sure to add a touch of drama to your landscape. We especially love the inclusion of the coleus; its deeply colored foliage adds beautiful depth to the planting. Place this basket in a spot with full sun for best color. Here's a great example of how unusual annual plants can add lots of interest to your hanging basket. Old-fashioned impatiens and wax begonias are no-fail choices for shade—but in this basket, they're enhanced by purple-leaf alternanthera and purple-flowering torenia.
Use a Mix of Colors

The soothing, sun-loving combo is perfect for dressing up a front porch where you can relax with a good book and a glass of lemonade. You can't go wrong with any of the petunias in the Wave series for tons of flower power on an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in full sun. One of our favorites is Easy Wave Blue—its deep purple-blue tones make it a showstopper by itself or combine it with softer, lighter colors for a bit of contrast. Vibrantly coloured polyanthus are also good for hanging baskets, and impatiens and begonias make great choices for shadier spots. Meanwhile, soak the root ball of each plant in water.
You can make maintenance a breeze with a planting of drought-tolerant hens and chicks, echeveria, sedum, or other succulents. They're an unusual choice, but require next to no watering, even in hot, sunny situations. Tie two hanging baskets together to create a fun DIY succulent orb, perfect for a spot in full sun. Hanging baskets often rely on a bunch of different plants for creating contrasts in color or texture. But you can create equally good looks without going overboard, even in a shady spot with impatiens in similar colors. They will fill a hanging basket with their delicate-looking blooms from early summer to frost.
A plastic, moulded hanging pot is lightweight, reduces moisture loss and often comes with an attached saucer, or even a self-watering reservoir. Wire baskets are also attractive, but they will need to be lined with something to keep the soil in place. Coconut fibre or paperbark are good choices, and to reduce water loss, you can line the inside of the liner with a supermarket bag or something similar. Make holes in it for drainage and trim the top so it can’t be seen.
This basket will sizzle all summer long in a sunny spot. You can't go wrong decorating a shady nook with the rose-like flowers of tuberous begonia and double impatiens. They'll add that little something extra to your hanging basket and keep on blooming all summer long. Look for double impatiens in a wide range of colors, from white to pink to red and even bicolors.
Plus you'll get the bonus of the wonderful scent—heliotrope is one of the most fragrant flowers you can use in hanging baskets. Bold and bright—what's not to enjoy about a red, white, and blue combo? Use lush, trailing plants like these to overflow a traditional hanging basket and eventually cover it with a skirt of eye-catching color.
They're dependable performers and will keep up their starring role in your landscape all summer long. A lavender-blue streptocarpella is intriguing enough that your guests won't be able to resist taking a closer look. This nonstop bloomer is a perfect companion for anything orange or yellow—such as the glowing orange osteospermum here. This basket will do best in a part shade location. Whatever you choose, just remind her to water her basket every day and it will bring her pleasure for months to come. The hotel is just like a hidden jam, only 30 mints drive to the Frankfurt airport, this is one reason we choose to stay at this hotel.
