Popular hanging plants for the garden
Ampelous plants are ideal for turning your garden into a stunning display of beauty. They look great in hanging pots, on verandas, balconies, and terraces. Flowers that can be grown this way add fullness and energy to the space.
Petunia is one of the most popular ampelous flowers. It is known as the queen of hanging plants. Its colorful drapes hang down and brighten up gardens and balconies worldwide.
This plant grows well in hanging containers. Its flexible stems hang beautifully, creating bright waterfalls of flowers. Petunias prefer sunny spots and need regular watering. They also require good drainage to avoid standing water.
If cared for properly, petunias will bloom profusely from spring to late autumn. The "Surfiniya" series is a popular type, known for its long-lasting, abundant flowers.
Begonia is another lively hanging plant, perfect for shaded areas in the garden. Its thick leaves and vivid flowers make it a favorite among gardeners who want decorative, easy-to-maintain plants.
Begonias thrive in partial or full shade. They like moderate humidity and need regular watering. They grow best in light, fertile soil that drains well. One popular hanging variety is Begonia boliviensis, which has long stems covered with bright flowers.
Lobelia is a graceful plant with blue cascades. It’s perfect for creating light and gentle garden arrangements. These small plants are very decorative and form charming waterfalls of tiny flowers. They look good alone or mixed with other hanging plants.
Lobelia prefers semi-shaded spots and needs consistent watering. The soil should stay moist, as the plant does not tolerate drying out. The Lobelia erinus variety is a favorite, known for its delicate blue or white flowers.
