A simple single colour Petunia gives a good effect.<\/p>\n
The typical plants seen in hanging baskets include Lobelia, Petunia, Begonia, Marigolds, Fuchsias and Pelagoniums. The F1 varieties of these plants have a long flowering season making them ideal for summer hanging baskets.<\/p>\n
Obviously in any hanging basket, trailing plants add an extra interest. For example a variegated ivy helps to offset and provide a balance to the more colourful varieties.<\/p>\n
Try Primulas, Violas, pansies, miniature conifers, ornamental cabbage and cyclamen. All can offer a good season of winter colour at a time when it is most appreciated.<\/p>\n

If you look outside any pub, you will likely see a riot of colour in hanging baskets. However, you don’t have to follow the prevailing fashions. Try a simple one or two colour design. For example, just try choosing white varieties and interesting green shades of leaves.<\/p>\n
Traditionally hanging baskets get stuffed with as many plants as you can fit. But, you could try making a feature from a spot plant like a trailing fuchsia or concentrate on trailing compact sweet peas.<\/p>\n
