Flower Suggestions for Hanging Baskets

j4ck
16 years ago

Hi all,

I bought a couple of hanging baskets last spring, that had supertunia in them, and they bloomed marvelously.

This year, am looking to start my own flowers in these same baskets, but need ideas for fast growing, scented, colouful flowers.

Apart from sweet alyssum, brazillian heart begonia, sweet potato vine, wave petunia and nasturtium, is there anything else that fits my requirements, or should I just stick to these?
