winter hanging baskets

Re: winter hanging baskets

  • How far south are you? I'm in TN - zone 7b. I normally plant pansies during the winter. I've also seen people plant ornamental kale (I've never planted it). I don't usually do hanging planters because the hanging baskets require a little more upkeep. For example, in the summer they dry out faster and I would imagine in the winter they'd freeze faster. Maybe someone else can chime in who has more experience with them.

    The only dangle-y plant I can think of that probably won't care if your soil is frozen is ivy. You could try planting that in your hanging basket.
