When it comes to deciding what plants you want in your seasonal winter hanging baskets, there's an overwhelming number of options - making a simple decision quite the conundrum. 

A common misconception of hanging basket plants and bedding blooms is that they're just for summer displays. However, many bedding plants and flowers are incredibly frost hardy, giving you a gorgeous winter hanging basket display throughout Winter and even into Spring! Here's just a few of our favourites to get you started.

Pansies

Pansies are impressive blooms that are able to flower for months on end, all year round (depending on when they're grown). Give a Pansy the opportunity to amaze, and they'll do exactly that. Their compact size and loud colours make them a must for any hanging basket or even container for a splash of colour through the Winter and early Spring.

Violas

Violas are a must for any hanging basket display. Many of them offer a gorgeous trailing habit, ideal for winter hanging baskets as they pirouette over the edge. Violas are the parent to a pansy, so they look incredibly similar, but provide gorgeous colour and excitement to your displays just the same.
