Hanging flower baskets are one of the most popular ways to display blooms all season long. They can quickly add a flash of color around your home and patio or attract pollinators to the garden. Not only are hanging baskets fun to look at, but they are also fun to make. Grow your own bright, full, cascading flower baskets for yourself or as a beautiful spring gift! For a truly impressive display, select a container that can support and display your blooms to their full potential.

How to Plant a Hanging Flower Basket
Hanging baskets traditionally utilize three types of flowers to thrill, spill, and fill. The center will usually have a taller, more showy flower or foliage to attract visual attention. Around this center display, you can usually find various filler flowers that add a variety of colorful blooms and make your basket appear full. Then, trailing and cascading varieties are added around the edges to create a spilling effect. Use this hanging basket flower recipe with your favorite flowers for a basket that won’t disappoint. Need flower ideas? Check out our recommendations below. These are some of the most popular hanging basket flowers around.
