There are lots of plants that can be grown in baskets- including those cheerful annuals, small evergreen shrubs, favourite bulbs and will provide all-year-round interest.  Pick a colour scheme that will accentuate any part of your garden your planter hangs such as hot reds or yellows or subtle pinks.  Baskets are planted in early spring and put outdoors after the risk of frost has passed, and can also be filled with frost hardy flowers and tough evergreens for colour over winter.  Scotplantsdirect have selected hanging baskets with Flat Bottoms for easier filling!!
