Its refined appearance makes it one of the most unique and eye-catching basket plants available.
Unlike many heat-loving hanging basket flowers, Angel Wings Mix performs best in cool to mild weather with bright light and protection from intense afternoon sun.

The flowers are largely self-cleaning, eliminating the need for constant deadheading.
Pinktopia Bacopa is especially beautiful cascading from porch baskets, window boxes, shepherd's hooks, pergolas, and patio containers where its graceful stems can develop naturally.

Its elegant trailing habit makes it an indispensable accent plant for both modern and traditional basket designs.
Thriving in full sun to light partial shade, Silver Falls performs best in a light, well-drained potting mix with moderate but consistent moisture. Although more drought tolerant than many flowering basket plants, regular watering encourages fuller growth and healthier foliage, especially during extended periods of summer heat. A light application of balanced fertilizer every two to three weeks is generally sufficient, as excessive feeding can encourage overly vigorous growth at the expense of its naturally graceful form. Its foliage remains attractive throughout the season without deadheading or special grooming.

Its naturally compact, mounding habit gently softens the edges of hanging baskets while creating a lush, colorful display.
Thriving in bright filtered light or partial shade, Splash Select Mix performs best in a fertile, well-drained potting mix that remains evenly moist. Hanging baskets should be watered regularly, as the shallow root system prefers consistent moisture and should not be allowed to dry completely. Light, weekly fertilization encourages vigorous foliage growth without sacrificing the brilliant leaf coloration. Pinching the growing tips throughout the season promotes additional branching, resulting in fuller, denser baskets with an even more impressive display.
Splash Select Mix is especially valuable for shaded porches, covered patios, balconies, and entryways where many flowering basket plants struggle. Its colorful foliage pairs beautifully with trailing ivy, bacopa, creeping Jenny, coleus, or impatiens, adding bold contrast and texture to mixed plantings.

Its slender stems quickly produce graceful sprays of uniquely colored blossoms that mature from deep crimson to brilliant orange, golden yellow, and creamy white, giving the appearance of a cascade of glowing tropical flowers. Suspended in a large hanging basket, the colorful stems naturally drape over the sides while continuing to climb nearby supports, creating an unforgettable display from midsummer until frost.
Growing best in full sun and a rich, well-drained potting mix, Jungle Queen requires a larger hanging basket than most annual flowers to support its vigorous root system. Consistent watering is important, as elevated baskets dry much faster than garden beds, particularly during periods of active summer growth. Feed weekly with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer to encourage continuous flowering, and provide light support if a more upright display is desired. Regular watering and feeding reward gardeners with remarkable vigor and nonstop blooms.
Jungle Queen is especially impressive when suspended from pergolas, porch beams, balconies, or sturdy shepherd's hooks where the flowering stems can both trail gracefully and climb naturally. It pairs beautifully with trailing foliage plants such as Dichondra 'Silver Falls' or Emerald Falls, whose cascading leaves provide an elegant contrast to the brilliant multicolored flowers. Because of its vigorous growth, it performs best as the featured plant in a basket rather than competing with numerous companions.
Jungle Queen Mina Lobata is an outstanding choice for gardeners looking to create a spectacular vertical display that combines the elegance of a hanging basket with the drama of a flowering vine. Its ever-changing flower colors, vigorous growth, and long blooming season make it one of the most distinctive plants for decorating porches, patios, pergolas, and outdoor living spaces.

Seedman Notes: Use a sturdy 14- to 16-inch hanging basket with a premium potting mix and position it where the vine has room to trail or climb naturally. Water consistently, fertilize weekly, and consider adding a small decorative trellis or allowing stems to climb porch railings or pergola posts.

Bright green foliage, attractive white blossoms, and glossy peppers combine to create an edible display that is both productive and ornamental throughout the summer.
Growing best in full sun, Pot-a-Peno performs exceptionally well in a 12- to 14-inch hanging basket filled with a rich, well-drained potting mix. Because hanging baskets dry much more quickly than garden beds, consistent watering is essential, especially once the plants begin flowering and setting fruit. Allowing the soil to dry completely may cause blossoms or developing peppers to drop. Feed weekly with a balanced fertilizer or one formulated for vegetables to support continuous flowering and heavy fruit production. In especially hot weather, daily watering may be necessary to maintain vigorous growth.
Pot-a-Peno is ideal for hanging from porches, decks, pergolas, balconies, or shepherd's hooks where the developing peppers remain highly visible and easy to harvest. Growing the plants above ground helps keep the fruit clean, improves air circulation around the foliage, and places the harvest within comfortable reach. Although attractive enough to grow alone, Pot-a-Peno also combines beautifully with trailing herbs such as thyme or compact ornamental foliage plants that will not compete for sunlight or moisture.
Pot-a-Peno Pepper is an outstanding choice for gardeners who want the satisfaction of harvesting fresh jalapeños without requiring a traditional vegetable garden. Its compact habit, dependable yields, and excellent adaptation to hanging baskets allow even gardeners with limited space to enjoy a steady supply of crisp, flavorful peppers throughout the growing season. Whether grown for fresh salsa, pickling, stuffing, or grilling, Pot-a-Peno delivers both ornamental appeal and exceptional productivity from a remarkably small footprint.
Seedman Notes: Use a sturdy hanging basket at least 12 inches in diameter with premium potting soil that drains well while retaining moisture. Position the basket where it receives a minimum of six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Water thoroughly whenever the top inch of soil begins to dry, and fertilize regularly throughout the season for maximum yields. Harvest peppers frequently to encourage continued flowering and fruit production. Pot-a-Peno is one of the few pepper varieties truly bred for successful hanging basket culture, making it an excellent choice for patios, balconies, and other small growing spaces.
Very Berry Wintergreen is proof that hanging baskets can remain beautiful long after the summer flowers have faded. This charming native evergreen forms a neat, compact mound of glossy dark green foliage that becomes covered with brilliant scarlet berries, creating a striking display throughout autumn and well into winter. Rather than producing a cascade of blooms, Very Berry offers season-long texture, rich color, and ornamental fruit that transforms porches, patios, and entryways into welcoming seasonal displays.
Unlike most hanging basket plants, Very Berry thrives in cool weather and prefers partial shade or gentle morning sun, making it an excellent choice for locations where summer annuals may struggle. Plant in a rich, acidic, well-drained potting mix that remains evenly moist but never waterlogged. A sturdy 12- to 14-inch hanging basket provides ample room for the slowly spreading root system while helping retain moisture during dry periods. Because the plant grows at a moderate pace, only light fertilization is needed during the growing season, allowing the attractive foliage and berries to remain the center of attention.
Very Berry is especially effective as a seasonal hanging basket displayed on covered porches, front entrances, woodland patios, and shaded balconies where its glossy foliage and bright berries can be appreciated up close. It combines beautifully with trailing ivy, heucheras, small evergreen conifers, pansies, violas, ornamental cabbage, or evergreen mosses to create elegant autumn and holiday arrangements. It is equally attractive planted alone, where its rich green leaves and vivid berries provide a refined display that complements nearly every style of home.
Very Berry Wintergreen is an exceptional choice for gardeners who want to extend the beauty of their hanging baskets beyond the traditional growing season. Its evergreen foliage, colorful berries, and naturally compact habit provide months of interest when most flowering baskets have already been put away. Whether decorating for autumn, Thanksgiving, or the holiday season, it offers a unique combination of ornamental beauty, durability, and year-round appeal that few basket plants can equal.
Seedman Notes: Very Berry is not a traditional cascading hanging basket plant, but its compact evergreen habit and long-lasting berries make it one of the finest choices for decorative fall and winter baskets. Use a quality acidic potting mix in a basket at least 12 inches in diameter, water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, and position the basket where it is protected from hot afternoon sun. For an especially attractive seasonal display, combine it with evergreen foliage plants and cool-season annuals to create a living basket that remains beautiful long after summer has passed.
Orange Prince Nemesia is an outstanding choice for hanging baskets, producing a dense canopy of brilliant orange blossoms that nearly cover the rich green foliage from early spring through the cooler months of summer.

Weekly feeding with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer encourages continuous flowering and helps maintain the plant's naturally compact, vigorous habit throughout the season.
Unlike trailing basket plants that create long cascades, Orange Prince forms a full, symmetrical mound that completely fills the basket with colorful blooms. It is beautiful grown alone in a 12- to 14-inch hanging basket, where its rounded shape becomes the focal point, or combined with trailing companions such as Bacopa, Dichondra, or Ivy to create baskets with both height and graceful spillover. Its compact habit also makes it an excellent choice for smaller porches, balconies, and covered patios where a neat, well-groomed appearance is desired.
Orange Prince Nemesia is an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking a hanging basket that remains colorful, fragrant, and beautifully shaped without becoming unruly.

Avoid overfertilizing, which encourages excess foliage at the expense of flowers. For gardeners seeking a colorful hanging basket that flourishes in hot, sunny conditions, Table Mountain is one of the finest performers available.

Candy Showers Mix Snapdragon is a breakthrough trailing snapdragon developed specifically for hanging baskets, window boxes, and elevated containers. Unlike traditional upright snapdragons, this unique variety produces long, freely branching stems that gracefully cascade over the sides of baskets while becoming covered with colorful snapdragon blooms in a cheerful mixture of pink, rose, yellow, white, lavender, bronze, and crimson. The result is a vibrant waterfall of flowers that continues blooming for months, bringing classic snapdragon beauty to an entirely new style of garden display.
