Add Layers of Color to Any Outdoor Space
Hanging baskets are more than just decoration—they bring your garden to life at eye level. Try these placement ideas for a colorful, cohesive look:
- Front porch: Pair baskets with matching planters or a colorful doormat for a warm welcome.
- Patio or deck: Use baskets to define cozy seating areas or block less desirable views.
- Landscape design: Hang baskets from a shepherd’s hook, or suspend one from a tree branch to complement surrounding blooms.
Use your baskets to tie together color themes by matching or contrasting with outdoor pillows, patio umbrellas, or garden decor.
Tips for Season-Long Hanging Basket Care
Want to keep your baskets blooming and beautiful all season? Here are a few tips from our experts:
1. Choose Based on Sun or Shade
Pick a basket that matches the sunlight your space receives. Some plants thrive in full sun, while others prefer the shade.
2. Water Regularly
Most baskets need daily watering, especially on hot or windy days. Water in the morning so plants are ready for the heat.
3. Trim for Fullness
Trailing annuals like petunias and calibrachoa benefit from light trimming every couple of weeks. Trim no more than ⅓ of their length to keep them tidy and lush.
4. Feed Your Flowers
Use a liquid fertilizer every 1–2 weeks, or try a slow-release granular fertilizer to support steady growth and blooming.
5. Watch for Pests
Control pests like aphids and whiteflies by rinsing with water. If needed, use insecticidal spray in the evening to protect beneficial insects like butterflies.
