Default Hanging Basket Disaster

Hello, I am desperately in need of some help. I had four hanging
baskets planted out with petunias and lobelia but they have been wrecked
by non gardening builders who took them down and stood them on top of
each other in the sun. Sigh.

I need to start again but I don't have access to a garden centre. I can
buy plants online but have no idea what would be available right now.

Please could some kind person give me an idea as to what plants could go
in now? I don't mind if they don't flower. I live quite near to the
sea and it is often pretty windy.

Thank you for reading this anyway!

Regards, Collie



When did this happen?
Woe long were they stacked for?
It could be that given a good feed and cutting back the damaged stems
they will regrow quite quickly as they should have a good root system.
Otherwise look for Ivy geraniums and you could put a New Guinea
Impatiens in each as a centre piece
