Pump action sprayer with extension

in Tools and techniques
I'm looking for a pump action spray with an extended wand, suitable for hanging baskets.  I thought I had seen one with a curved bit at the end that's just right for getting into the baskets but I don't seem to be having much luck on the internet.  Perhaps I was imagining it!  Any ideas?

    Try searching for "hanging basket spray lance". :)

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Cheers, I found the exact lance I want but it fits a hose, not a pump action spray and in any case, it seems to be unavailable.  At least now I know I wasn't imagining it!

    The flow rate from a pump sprayer might be a bit low for watering large baskets. You'd be stood there for hours. You could get an electric waterbutt pump though and attach it to the hose lance you've found.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I think OP means something like this with the swan neck to reach into the baskets

    I didn't I'm afraid!  I gave up looking and just continued to use a watering can.  ;)

    Hi, I don't know if you're still looking for one, but we recently found this in my dad's garage. I doubt we live very close to each other though.....I'm in Devon?
