Selecting plants for hanging baskets

Hanging baskets make a lovely display on your patio or around your house.

Before you decide to use them, however, you must select the type of plants you would like to grow in your hanging baskets. You can choose plants that can grow in full sun or semi-shade, depending on where you will locate the baskets.

Many people use ferns and the most popular ferns for hanging baskets are Toyo (Breadfruit) and Rabbit Foot, which grow around and fill out the baskets nicely. Two others that can be used are the Asparagus and Boston ferns.
