Hanging baskets make a great feature on any building or entranceway and believe it or not, they can also be a valuable asset to your business. Adorning your premises with beautiful plants not only improves the overall look, it attracts attention and helps to create a great first impression. If you are looking for instant appeal, Ambius provide them pre-grown for quick and easy installation.
If you’re new to the world of hanging baskets, below we have listed the plants which we believe are most suited to this use.
Geranium (Pelargonium)
Beautiful and vibrant, geraniums are great for upright hanging baskets and make fantastic centrepieces. They’re available in many different colours and will gracefully cascade over the edges of your basket, creating an unforgettable summer display.
Bidens
If you’re looking for a hanging basket that will last all throughout the summer, bidens are the plant for you. They flower from July until October and are ideal for planting around the edge of baskets. As well as looking fantastic, their fern-type foliage and small yellow flowers are sweetly scented and are therefore sure to draw visitors into your building.
Fuchsia
Fuchsia are one of the most popular hanging basket plants and it’s not hard to see why this is. Not only are you spoilt for choice with this flower thanks to the different varieties it comes in, you can also choose from a range of different colours. What’s more, some varieties of this plant have large bell flowers while others have tiny, delicate flowers so you will be able to choose whichever goes best with the look you’re trying to create.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes might not be the first plant you think of when you imagine hanging baskets but believe it or not, they’re great for this purpose. They’re very easy to grow and maintain, they look great and you even get some fresh and delicious tomatoes at the end of it. The most popular type for this use are trailing cherry tomatoes in the Tumber and Tumbling Tom varieties.
Surfinas
If you’re looking to create a long, cascading effect over your basket with masses of bright and vibrant flowers, surfinas are perfect. As well as looking very similar to petunias, these plants are known for their versatility, stunning colours and resistance to a range of weather conditions.
Lofos plants
When it comes to lofos plants, you’re guaranteed cascades of breathtaking colour. Combining bright green, triangular-shaped foliage with large, slipper-shape blooms, this plant is guaranteed to turn heads and create a great impression.
Artificial hanging baskets
If you want your flowers to last all year long or you have a habit of forgetting to water your plants, artificial hanging baskets make a fantastic alternative. Not only are they easy to maintain, you can guarantee they will always look great. What’s more, because they don’t need watering, they’re also better for the environment.
