Artificial hanging basket FAQs

• How to arrange artificial flowers in a hanging basket

  From small decorative baskets to blooming cascading flowers, you can design your own instantly while saving money. When it comes down to it, there's no right or wrong way to arrange your own flowers – what you think looks good and mimics your vision is good enough. Do you want a flowing, horizontal line of flowers or overflowing and falling flowers? Do you want a crowded aesthetic or something simple to complement another feature of your garden?

  You can choose any flowers you like, just remember not to mix artificial and real flowers in the same hanging basket. Complementary colours can be a stylish choice, or a mixture of small, medium, and larger blooms. Artificial filler can be a nice addition for a pop of green. Start at the centre when arranging your artificial flowers and work outwards.

• How long do artificial flowers and plants last outside?

  How long your artificial hanging basket will last depends on where they are placed. While they are sturdy and made to resist the elements, if they are exposed to direct sunlight most of the time, they can fade.

  Having UV, frost, and weather resilient artificial plants means they’ve been treated to specifically withstand the outside for longer. To top up when you notice general wear, you can apply a can of UV protection spray for an additional protective layer in the future.
