Flower pots hanging baskets are planters designed to hang — rather than sit on the ground — and are used to grow flowers, foliage plants, trailing vines, herbs and other greenery. In simple terms, they are planters with built-in hooks, chains, or suspension systems that allow you to elevate your plants in courtyards, patios, balconies, verandahs or indoor spaces.
Here’s why Australians love flower pots hanging baskets: they maximise vertical space, create lush greenery without taking up floor area, and instantly add depth, movement and colour to gardens and interiors.
Flower pots hanging baskets come in many styles, materials and sizes. The main options you’ll find in Australia include:
These classic hanging baskets are made from natural fibres like seagrass, jute or cane. They evoke a relaxed, boho vibe and work beautifully in coastal, cottage and garden-nestled homes.
Metal frames with liners are durable and ideal for heavier plants or more structured designs. They suit modern, industrial or contemporary outdoor spaces, and can be paired with colourful fabric liners to soften their look.
These upscale options bring an earthy, refined feel. Ceramic hanging pots are great for indoor living rooms or alfresco areas where design is front of mind.
Perfect for busy lifestyles, self-watering options store extra moisture in a reservoir so plants get consistent hydration — a big plus in Australia’s warmer regions.
Often used with lightweight pots, macramé hangers add artisan flair. These are popular indoors or in sheltered verandahs where weather exposure is minimal.
Designed to hold more than one pot or allow plants to trail beautifully, these baskets add visual interest and layers to your green display.
Choosing hanging baskets isn’t just about looks — it’s about function, plant type, space and longevity. Here’s how to decide:
Indoor vs outdoor – Outdoor baskets need weather-resistant materials (e.g., treated metal or ceramics). Indoors, woven or ceramic can add softness.
Sheltered or exposed – In fully exposed areas, choose sturdy options that won’t degrade in sun or rain.
Coastal homes look great with natural fibre baskets.
Urban balconies pair well with metal or sleek ceramic options.
Macramé hangers work best indoors or under covered patios.
Lightweight herbs or trailing annuals do well in fabric or woven baskets.
Heavier plants (e.g., large ferns or cascading petunias) need sturdier pots and strong suspension.
Good drainage is essential for plant health. Some baskets have built-in drainage holes; others need liners you can lift to water easily. Self-watering versions are excellent for busy lifestyles.
Small verandahs suit small-to-medium baskets grouped for impact.
Large gardens or alfresco zones can handle big, statement hanging pots.
Flower pots hanging baskets aren’t just pretty — they’re practical, impactful and versatile. Here’s why people buy them and how they improve the home:
For apartments, townhouses, or courtyards where ground space is limited, hanging baskets make vertical gardening possible — and beautiful.
Suspended greenery draws the eye upward, creates focal points and softens hard architectural lines.
Plants in hanging baskets often get better circulation and sun exposure, helping them thrive especially in breezy Australian climates.
You can change plants seasonally, swap pot colours, group baskets in clusters — the design possibilities are endless.
Try trailing strawberries, basil, rosemary or cherry tomatoes in hanging baskets for an edible display that’s easy to reach and harvest.
Hanging baskets become living décor in kitchens, living rooms or sunrooms, creating wellness-focused interiors.
