Your baskets don't have to be the same from spring to fall. Keep your display looking great by choosing cool-season plants for spring, such as these violas, then heat-lovers for summer. When temperatures drop in fall, replace your spent summer plants with more cool-season beauties. Plants with small foliage and flowers create a fine texture that adds a touch of subtlety to your landscape. We love this simple but effective combination—it's like a touch of snow in summer. These come in lots of different styles and shapes.

How to Make a Spherical Hanging Basket in Just 20 Minutes
In a regular hanging basket, it can take a while for the plants to inch their way over the sides of the container and create that pretty, flowing effect. To solve that, try making a sphere with two metal basket frames and coir liners to create extra surface area for a truly impressive floral show. Fill your sphere planter with fast-growing annuals that bloom continuously through the growing season, and you'll have a gorgeous spectacle of color in no time. This example uses shade-loving impatiens, but if you want to place your hanging sphere planter in a sunny spot, petunias would work equally well. We've found the biggest challenge of growing beautiful hanging baskets is keeping them from drying out.
This combo will do best in a part sun location. The hotel is old world charm, classic, beautiful and clean. Impeccable service from reception to service staff. The room was comfortable and big enough for our family , really enjoyed the bar stocked with complimentary drinks and fresh fruit. Use contrasting colors to add an eye-catching display to your garden.
Hang and Water Your Sphere Hanging Basket
Holding the cardboard in place with your fingers, invert the basket, and rest it on top of the base basket. Carefully slide out the piece of cardboard from between the baskets, then secure the baskets together using zip ties to hold them firmly in place. Super bloomers like sun-loving verbena and calibrachoa are ready to start putting on a show as soon as you plant them.
Orange and purple are a no-fail mix that will always make an impact. To enhance the effect, this arrangement weaves in some silvery tones from licorice vine. Another secret that interior and garden designers often use is to mix colors that jump a couple of spots on the color wheel. Here, for example, pale yellow adds subtle interest to this otherwise pink-red color combo of sun-loving calibrachoa and verbena. Color can affect your mood—so use it to your advantage. This is a great example; pastel shades of lavender and fuchsia pop with a bit of white to create a soft, romantic look in a sunny spot.
Hanging baskets
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. Tie two hanging baskets together to create a fun DIY succulent orb, perfect for a spot in full sun. Hanging baskets often rely on a bunch of different plants for creating contrasts in color or texture. But you can create equally good looks without going overboard, even in a shady spot with impatiens in similar colors. They will fill a hanging basket with their delicate-looking blooms from early summer to frost.
It's no wonder they're tried-and-true favorites for hanging baskets, too. This red geranium is dressed up with a flowing skirt of draping ivy, blue lobelia, and a top hat of a simple dracaena for a classic look in a full sun location. This container uses some of the same plants as the last one, but the warm, glowing shades create a completely different look. This exciting combo is well suited to a sunny spot where you entertain because of its energizing, festive colors. Create a "wow" moment by using colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Here, for example, rich purple makes a stunning contrast to golden-chartreuse.
Pick Drought-Resistant Plants
Small baskets can create as big an impact as larger ones—you just need to pick the right plants. The secret for success is to go for plants that stay smaller but have colorful leaves like coleus and variegated varieties of favorites like vinca. Add in an impatiens, and you'll have a colorful basket sure to brighten a shady spot all summer long. Here, butterfly orchid, an underused but long-blooming tomato relative, does the job perfectly. This colorful combo will prefer a shady spot, and will stop blooming once summer heat sets in. Even though they're old-fashioned, geraniums are still a top pick for hot, sunny garden beds—and they mix well with just about everything.
Squeeze the soil gently to release excess water. Tuck each root ball into a planting hole so that each plant's stem is at the same depth is was before in its pot. If necessary, use a spoon to dig out a little space to fit all the roots into your sphere planter. Use your fingers to firm the soil around each plant to hold it in place.
He worked in the restaurant and was very friendly and welcoming. You could tell he cared for the guests and went out of his way to help them. He made us feel very welcome and made our anniversary stay special. The food was overall good, but very expensive, but that was to be expected at a five star hotel.
Decided to then try the Palmengarten and had a fantastic afternoon. It was well designed and everything was easily accessible; the food was also very reasonable. If you are choosing between the free botanical gardens or this one, choose this one...hands down; the other is just a park with name plates. Place a flat piece of thick cardboard over the soil in the basket that will form the top half of the sphere.
