Bleeding hearts are a beautiful hanging plant.
I love sweet potato vines. I always plant the green and purple ones on my front porch.
Thanks, but really am looking for something a little more creative. I have done them before and thought I would try something new.
depends on light...
there are several kinds of potato vines which trail beautifully....the wine colored plants have lovely small flowers.
We have eastern exposure, with good morning sun. Would not recommend strict shade plants as they would burn out on a full sun day.
Tired of the normal sweet potato vines, vinca vines, spikes and wave petunias. Looking for something a bit more creative with some good color and draping ability.
