I made my own festive hanging basket and it's the easiest outdoor Christmas upgrade to add the perfect finishing touch

Winter hanging basket .

The Christmas tree and fairy lights have added plenty of sparkle inside the house, but when it comes to the front of the house, there’s nothing like a festive hanging basket to add an extra splash of colour and make things look super Christmassy.

Rather than buying a pricey ready-made planter, I’m all for grabbing some festive greenery and putting together my own. By choosing the right combination of cold-loving plants and winter flowers, it's hard to go wrong. And when it comes to any garden container idea, I’m a big fan of the 'thriller, filler, spiller' technique, which pretty much guarantees perfect planters every time.
