Create Stunning Hanging Baskets

Use these easy plant-by-numbers recipes to put together the most beautiful hanging baskets in your neighborhood.

Pick Drought-Resistant Plants

Create a virtually no-care container with succulents. We've found the biggest challenge of growing beautiful hanging baskets is keeping them from drying out. You can make maintenance a breeze with a planting of drought-tolerant hens and chicks, echeveria, sedum, or other succulents. They're an unusual choice, but require next to no watering, even in hot, sunny situations.

Create a Contrast

Even though they're old-fashioned, geraniums are still a top pick for hot, sunny spots -- and they mix well with just about everything. (No wonder they're tried-and-true favorites.) This red geranium is dressed up with a flowing skirt of draping ivy and blue lobelia and a top hat of a simple dracaena for a classic look.

A. Geranium (Pelargonium 'Designer Cherry') -- 1
B. Dracaena marginata -- 1
C. Lobelia 'Waterfall Blue' -- 4
D. Ivy (Hedera helix) -- 3

Make a Statement with Bold Colors
It's tough to pick which is brighter -- the hot pink or the bold gold. Either way, they're great colors to catch the eye from a block away. Up close, the mix of bloom sizes creates visual interest on a more subtle level. Tip: If your home is set back on your lot, choose bright colors to create more impact from the street.

A. Geranium (Pelargonium 'Designer Cherry') -- 1
B. Swan river daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia 'Mini Yellow') -- 1
C. Nirembergia 'Purple Robe' -- 3
D. Marigold (Tagetes 'Lemon Gem') -- 3
E. Petunia 'Supercascade Rose' -- 1
