Hanging Baskets - winter flowers..

[foxydivano1]

Hiya,

My hanging baskets are coming to an end, but was wondering if i could plant some kind of flower/pansies for the winter? I have got used to them down the side of my house and its seems to brighten the place up - so would love to keep them up all year around. Is there any type of flowers/plants that will live in the hanging baskets through the winter months?

Thanks

Yes, Pansies should be fine. You could also put in a small dwarf conifer and a couple of Ivies, perhaps 1 yellow & 1 variagated. I've done this for a couple of years now & it looks great. The pansies will wilt slightly in very frosty weather, but will recover.
