Tony's Pick- Best Hanging Baskets

Tony Vitti, our florist and garden shop manager shares his thoughts on his favorite hanging containers this year.

Tony Vitti, our florist and garden shop shares a couple of thoughts on why he's so excited about these hanging baskets.

What I truly love about this is how the plants work together. No single plant overpowers the others. In hanging container design, you look for a vertical line, a horizontal line and a hanging line that all mesh together to form one strong plant.

These hanging containers are designed for a mixture of sunny or shady locations. The sculpture of botanic's used include Ipomea, Dragon Wing Begonia, bacopa and Coleus. It is an exceptional combination of plants that require little care. Apart from watering we recommend a slow release fertilizer applied twice a season. The lasting quality is from May until the first frost.
