I like this hanging basket idea because it creates a colorful display of flowers. You can achieve this by combining various colorful flowers in your hanging baskets.

For example, you can combine geranium, petunias, verbena, and other colorful flowers you can lay your hand on to achieve this. The idea is all about creating a visual appeal that can add to the beauty of your porch.

If you wish to transform your porch into a culinary oasis, the Herb Haven idea is your best bet. It is simple, easy, and involves only planting herbs in your hanging baskets.

Thyme, mint, and rosemary are popular herbs you can use to achieve this. And the interesting thing is that they can serve as a cooking spice when preparing food in the kitchen. Also, their fragrances are cool and inviting.

4. Succulent Serenity

You can use succulent plants such as sedums, echeverias, and aeoniums to fill your baskets and hang them on your ceilings while it drop low around your porch. This creates a versatile and diverse display.

I like succulent plants in hanging baskets because of their texture, resilience, and unique shape. Also, they are easy to maintain which makes it easy if you don’t have domestic workers who maintain your home.

Just like the name sounds, it involves growing edible plants in your hanging baskets so they can serve as decoration for your porch and food you can eat.

If you like fruits and vegetables in your outer space, the Fruitful Bounty hanging basket idea suits you. It’s a cool way of growing fruits and vegetables in a small space while fruits dangle around your porch – an attractive sight that makes relaxation in the porch area fun.

6. Shade Porch

You can make your porch area bright by having flowers that provide shade in your hanging baskets. Begonias, impatiens, and fuchsias are common flowering plants you can use to achieve this since they thrive perfectly in low light and require minimal care. 

7. Pollinator Nest

I love this type of hanging basket idea since it attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies when you fill your hanging basket with planting flowers. Coneflower, lavender, and hibiscus are suitable choices here. They don’t only beautify your porch but also support pollinators that play important roles in the ecosystem.
