Patriotic Door Basket
Looking for an idea to dress up your front door this 4th of July? Learn how to create a patriotic door basket with red, white, and blue summer annuals.
● Hanging Door Basket ● Potting Soil ● Summer Annuals in red, white, and blue (Petunias are my favorite!) ● Accent Plants ● Small American Flags ● Wreath Hanger
Use a hand trowel to add potting soil to your hanging door basket. Be careful not to add too much. You’ll want to save room for the flowers!
Gently remove your annuals from the plastic pots. Loosen the roots and place them in your basket.
Dry fit the flowers until you find an arrangement you like. Add more soil and gently pat firm to make sure your flowers are firmly planted in place.
Arrange your basket using the "Thriller, Filler, Spiller" planting method. to create a high-end looking arrangment on a budget!
Anchor some small American flags in the potting soil. Then hang the basket on your door to enjoy all summer long!
