Which Plants Can Be Used to Make Up a Hanging Basket?
This guide looks at the some of the best plants to use for hanging baskets and some of the factors that will influence your choice depending on the seasons and conditions.
The first thing to say about choosing plants for hanging baskets is that there literally thousands of different choices and combinations! You need to consider the end effect you are looking to achieve in terms of colour, shape, size and location in choosing exactly the right plants.
Pansies
Pansies provide vivid colour in a terrific number of shades - yellow, orange, purple, violet, red, white and nearly black - with distinctive faces in the centre of the flower. Pansies can be used in summer and winter baskets.
Geraniums
Geraniums are a typically hardy plant which can grow in most soils and be used in the summer and winter. 'Balcon' geraniums are specifically used as trailing flowers for impressive displays.
Surfinia
Surfinia are typically used to create vibrant cascading effects and trailing styles. However, they grow quickly and can easily crowd other plants out and, as a result, are often used as the only plant type in the basket.
Lobelia
Lobelia is distinctive because it produces large numbers of flowers with typically smaller petals and offers an interesting alternative to pansies and surfinia.
Impatiens
Impatiens can provide bright, vibrant colours for hanging baskets and are used commonly in planters and borders as bedding plants. They are susceptible to dry soil however and require regular watering to ensure long life and health.
Begonia
Begonia's are long lasting and provide good growth which means they can be planted in spring and last well into autumn if cared for properly.
Nasturtiums
Nasturtiums are a colourful and distinctive plant with long, winding stems and flamboyant petals which are ideal for hanging baskets.
Ferns
Ferns are ideal for adding texture and interest to a hanging basket. Try choosing hardier varieties that will be able to last throughout the summer and winter provided they are fed and watered regularly.
Variegated ivy
Variegated ivy is a real staple and can be used both in the summer and importantly in the winter. The ivy provides a pleasant multi-coloured green base to the other plants and creates a nice trailing effect that is not possible with most flowering plants.
Herbs
Hanging baskets can be used to grow all herbs varieties for a kitchen garden style. Sage, basil, tarragon, rosemary and parsley are ideal for this purpose and make a very pleasant and aromatic display.
Fruit
Fruit such as strawberries can be grown in hanging baskets. Although the display is not impressive as a traditional basket the effect is novel and very suitable for town dwellers wanting to grow their own fruit but where space may be at a premium.
In summary, this guide gives you an idea of just some of the plants you can use for hanging baskets. There are options for the summer and winter and whether to concentrate on flower displays or perhaps to grow fruit or herbs for a kitchen garden. The only limit is your creativity!
