What kind of hanging flower plants do you have?

What happened to Wave petunias? Those things were great.

Looking for some large ferns myself.

Also not flowering, but Spider plants and ferns.

For flowering, bougainvillea, but they can have thorny branches, lavender plants will cascade and make small lavender colored flowers, portulaca also hangs and flowers with small flowers of many different colors depending on which one you buy.

Check out Lobelias, impatiens, donkey's tail( a succulent hanger) and snowtopia.

That's a good start.

Mandevilla is one to look into. It is a perennial if you protect it during freezing weather.

I was gonna suggest this. They grow fast and make a great show. If you protect them from freezes, they come back every year so you don't have to buy more.

The red variety has more blooms, but the white variety has showier blooms and beautiful foliage.

what does it take to get something like this?

No, those type plants can just be planted in the soil of the basket and as they grow, they cascade over the edges and hang down. Most round hanging baskets have heavy metal framework, coconut or some other mat inside the framework to hold the soil in place and you fill them with your choice of potting soil and plant.

If you buy a small plant in a plastic pot and transplant it in one of those hanging baskets, it will take a few months to get close to the size of the ones in our picture. If you want to speed up the process, plant 2 or 3 in your basket and make sure to use Miracle Gro or some other fertilizer a few times a month.

We just hung these about 2 weeks ago. They are Fuschia’s. Water them twice a week and they seem to be taking off pretty good.
