Description

A Self-Watering Hanging Planter for Easier Container Care

Spend more time enjoying your flowers and less time carrying the watering can. The Weekender® hanging planter features a built-in self-watering system designed to help keep container plants consistently moist while reducing how often you need to water.

An innovative wicking system draws moisture from the 1-gallon reservoir into the soil as plants need it. Depending on weather and growing conditions, this self-watering basket can typically be watered every 2–4 days instead of daily, making it especially convenient for busy gardeners or short trips away from home.

The overflow feature helps prevent excess water from collecting, while a removable plug lets you drain the reservoir and use the Weekender® like a traditional hanging basket when desired.

Weekender® Hanging Planter Features

Generous planting space: 16.1-inch outside diameter with a 14.5-inch inner planting area for full container combinations.
1-gallon reservoir: Stores water below the planting area and supplies moisture through the wicking system.
Overflow protection: Helps prevent overwatering while supporting proper drainage.
Removable drain plug: Easily release reservoir water when you want to use the planter like a standard hanging basket.
Removable liner: Holds approximately 745.42 cubic inches of soil with a 6.3-inch planting depth.
Sturdy hanger: Includes a three-strand rotating hanger for easy display and access.
Multiple colors: Available in matte black, forest green, royal blue, sand, and seafoam green.
Recyclable materials: Both the container and liner are 100% recyclable.
Made in the USA: Designed for reliable use season after season.

The filled Weekender® may weigh approximately 30–40 pounds with soil, water, and plants, so always hang it from a structure that can safely support the load. Garden Crossings recommends a sturdy 4x4 post with a heavy-duty bracket or a heavy-duty eyelet secured into a solid joist or beam.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Weekender® self-watering basket work?

A wicking system draws water from the 1-gallon reservoir into the soil, allowing plant roots to absorb moisture as needed. The reservoir helps extend the time between waterings while the overflow feature helps prevent excess water buildup.

How often do I need to water the Weekender® Hanging Planter?

Garden Crossings recommends watering approximately every 2–4 days rather than daily, though frequency will vary with temperature, sunlight, wind, plant size, and rainfall.

Can I use the Weekender® like a regular hanging basket?

Yes. Remove the reservoir plug when you want water to drain freely and use the planter more like a traditional hanging basket.

How much does the Weekender® weigh when full?

When filled with soil, plants, and water, the planter weighs approximately 30–40 pounds. Make sure the hanger, bracket, post, joist, or beam can safely support that weight.

Are plants included with the hanging planter?

No. The Weekender® is sold as the planter and hanging system; plants are purchased separately.

The weekender was the best gift to myself

I absolutely love my hanging baskets. Went on vacation for 1 week and my neighbor only had to water 2 times! Very friendly also!

Weekender Basket

I am very satisfied with my purchase. I received my order promptly and it works as expected my flower basket is growing out beautifully and I only have to water it twice a week.

Great hanging planters !!

These hanging planters are well made, excellent design, like the rotation feature, makes watering so much easier and more enjoyable !!

16 inch Weekender hanging pot is working out just fine here in zone 8b Alabama. My plants have been potted up right at 2 weeks now and are finally growing and looking fantastic! Love having to water my plants every 3 or 4th day instead of everyday! I bought 6 hanging pots and as far as I am concerned, it's a great investment!
