How should I do a hanging basket with artificial plants ?

[Dave7]

A 'live' hanging basket has become too much faff.
I want realistic looking plants.
No soil/compost because of weeds etc.
Any ideas, suggestions ??

There were some very realistic ones in Aldi about this time last year with what looked like winter-flowering pansies in them. The flowers were some sort of fabric rather than plastic - so they moved more like real flowers in the wind - and the baskets looked like some sort of wickerwork.

Do it !

I like some colour in winter, I hate the greyness of everything In winter. Some colour brightens things up, plastic flowers are a tad naff if course but they do the trick, bring some life and colour to the grey...so much the better

this, of course, is the correct answer.

IKEA have loads of really good artificial plants. Some are quite realistic looking and some aren’t meant to be - they are fun though!
