Collection: Hanging Basket

Where will your hanging basket go?

A hanging basket adds greenery up high and trailing down, filling vertical space, so start with the spot. A verandah or patio gains a classic, welcoming look from a trailing basket by the door. A bare wall or corner uses height a floor plant can't reach. A shelf or high spot indoors suits hanging plants — artificial hanging plants or a hanging fern in a hanging planter cascading over the edge. And a balcony with no floor space grows greenery upward instead. Work out where you want greenery up high or trailing down — a verandah, a shelf, a bare wall — and a hanging basket delivers it with no watering.

How do you hang a basket securely?

The fixing carries the weight, so get it right. Use a proper hook or bracket rated for the basket's weight, fixed into something solid — a ceiling joist, a solid beam or a masonry wall with the right anchor, never just plasterboard. An artificial basket is lighter than a real watered one, but still needs a secure fixing so it can't fall. For outdoors, make sure the bracket and basket handle wind, and choose UV-resistant plants so the sun doesn't fade them. Hang it at a height where the trailing foliage shows but doesn't get in the way.

What plants suit a hanging basket?

Trailing plants make the best baskets. A trailing fern cascades softly for a lush, green look. Trailing ivy or vines spill over the edge for length and movement. A flowering trailing plant adds colour spilling down. A mixed basket combines trailing greenery with a few blooms for a full, natural look. Because they're artificial, they trail beautifully year-round with no watering, deadheading or the drying-out that plagues real hanging baskets in summer. Match the plant to whether you want lush green (fern), length (ivy) or colour (flowering trailers).

What we'd tell a friend before they buy a hanging basket

Here's the practical bit. Real hanging baskets dry out fast in summer and need daily watering — a faux one sidesteps that entirely, which is a big win for a hot verandah. Fix it with a proper weight-rated hook into something solid, never just plasterboard. For outdoors, buy UV-resistant plants and a bracket that handles wind. And fluff the trailing foliage on arrival so it cascades naturally. Buy on a secure fixing and UV-rated plants for outdoors, and enjoy a basket that never needs watering.

FAQs – get the answers you need

Do artificial hanging baskets look real?
Good-quality trailing ferns and vines do, especially fluffed out so they cascade naturally. They avoid the drying-out and patchiness that real summer baskets suffer.

How do I hang a basket securely?
Use a weight-rated hook or bracket fixed into a joist, solid beam or masonry with the right anchor, never just plasterboard. A secure fixing stops it falling.

Can artificial hanging baskets go outside?
Yes, with UV-resistant plants that resist fading and a bracket that handles wind. They suit a verandah or patio with no watering, unlike thirsty real baskets.

What plants trail best in a basket?
Trailing ferns for lush green, ivy and vines for length, and flowering trailers for colour. A mixed basket combines greenery and blooms for a full, natural look.

Why choose a faux hanging basket?
Real hanging baskets dry out fast and need daily summer watering. A faux one trails beautifully year-round with no watering, deadheading or drying out.
