Hanging Baskets

Plan your baskets from spring to winter with our easy-to-follow printable. Includes plant lists, care tips, and seasonal themes.

Spring Baskets

Cool-weather flowers like fuchsia, violas, and bacopa thrive in early spring. Choose trailing plants and soft colours to brighten up porches and patios.

☀️ Summer Baskets

Hot days call for heat-tolerant plants like calibrachoa, petunias, ivy geraniums, lantana and sweet potato vine. Remember daily watering - twice a day if possible!

Fall Baskets

Swap out tired summer blooms with ornamental kale, pansies, and heuchera. Add small gourds or twigs for a harvest-season look.

❄️ Winter Baskets

Evergreens, wintergreen berries, small branches and pinecones turn your empty basket into a festive display. Great for porches or balconies.
