Hanging baskets are a beautiful way to add height and visual interest to your garden, porch, or patio. They’re ideal for Minnesota gardeners looking to maximize color and greenery in small or vertical spaces. These containers can hold a mix of trailing, upright, and blooming plants that thrive during the state’s growing season. With proper watering and fertilizing, hanging baskets stay vibrant from late spring through early fall. Some hanging basket plants can be brought indoors over the winter to extend their life and add greenery inside your home.
