Xmas hanging basket

When i start mine i will post some pics to show you what they look like....good luck to anyone who is doing one too

 

Ta for that PinO!
When I've done winter baskets, I've put an evergreen, generally variegated, like a young aucuba, or euonymus as the height, ivy as the trailer, primroses and winter-flowering pansies round the basket, and small daffs (like tete a tete) and crocuses around the place to grow up through the edging plants. Looks good - honest!! I learned from the professionals....

 

Dendrobium hi again over jet lag ready to get my think cap on .But had to make a start to tidy back front garden with being away needed weeds taken out.
Your idea is great but of course yours would be like my idea of a Spring Basket.

I only want to use for a xmas theme on our solar light arrangement our neighbour maid.As I said I shall be doing season theme basket.

Holly and the Ivy like the carol ,stuck for a flower as my christmas roses never seem to flower at Christmas.This will be hanging outdoors at whatever the weather is to be thrown at us.

 

Hi Lady of leisure.

I am still at thinking stage of my Christmas basket.

But think it will all come together in the end.

We only want these baskets planted up for over the festive time as shall replant or at least have another in the background growing.

I am looking for a silver trailing ivy,does not need to be holy but a small grown plant with red ,pink or white berries.

Going to a garden centre to get tomorrow.

Shall plant snowdrops which pop up after,a small xmas Santa make it Santa looking as my neighbour is a childminder adn small children around.

In my head coming together just to put it together.

Reds,Greens and Silver shall be my colour theme.

 

still got to put a few more plants in

 

this is the other hanging basket

 

Rosa, your cone effect is a super idea ....if I can find some cones small enough (all ours I find are HUGE but make good kindling for under our oak logs) I might copy that ...thank you .... M-L

 

mona lisa, copy them iff you wish no problem, I bought the cones hanging baskets in wilkinsons in the summer would you believe, going to look for something christmassy to hang on them, so will put them up again nearer christmas

 

Rosa, we haven't got Wilkinsons ... I think I could start a trend here !! :D M-L

 

thats a shame what about on line, when i went the other day they havnt got them and when i bought them in the summer thought it was odd seeing them then but they could of been in since last xmas and i hadny noticed them, never seen them since anywere else either

Rosa they look great you got you decs on them already good for you and keep em coming
