Gorgeous Hanging Baskets! 

Dan Schantz Greenhouse grows millions of hanging baskets, in every size, color and combinations.  Area tested and Dan Approved- we think you'll find our baskets to be exceptional!
Take a look at them growing at our farm:
 
 
When they are ready, we ship the best directly to our customers!


Our growers start with the healthiest cuttings and the most vibrant colors of species available on the market, strategically placing them in the correct size basket.  We make our own soil from Peat, Rock Wool, Perlite, Vermiculite and other trace elements to provide the roots with the most water absorption and aeration for best growth.  It takes about 3 months to grow a perfect hanging basket, and is fertilized/watered by automatic and computerized echo systems. 
 

Basic #10 (size of pot) annual hanging baskets include:
Pansies, Snapdragon, Mixed annuals, Wax Begonia, Petunia basic, impatiens (regular) and many other annual flowers.  $12.99 each
Deluxe #10 Hanging baskets include but not exclusive: Zonal Geraniums, Specialty Petunias, Hybrid Begonias, Bacopa, Nemesia, and other deluxe fancy annuals.  $15.99 each
#12 Premium hangers include some of the larger combinations: Specialty geraniums, Calabrachoa, wave petunias, Diascia, Bidens, etc.  $22.99 each
Proven Winner hanging baskets are planted with only premium Proven Winner brand annuals, $24.99 each
And last but not least, the large Coco Moss hanging baskets (pictured above) that range in price of $29.99 to $34.99 depending on size. 
It's best to check in often to see which varieties are available.  Since we ship and grow all product continuously throughout the spring and summer, we sell only what is ready on any given week. 
 
Care of Hanging Baskets:  Check to find out the best location for your plant.  Most everything will grow with a half a day of sunshine.  Extreme conditions should be noted: if you are putting it in a HOT SUNNY spot and you don't like to water too often, try Calliope Geraniums or Sunpatiens.  Moss Rose (Portulaca) or Vinca would be great. 
A REALLY SHADY spot should host impatiens, Coleus, Lobelia or sweet potato vine.  Just remember, nothing grows in complete darkness, and anything that is in a hanging pot will usually dry out faster than a planter closer to the ground.  Water it until the water runs out of the bottom for at least 50 seconds.  Don't fertilize a dry plant. 
(cheater's tip- no one will notice if you add some small silk flowers to your green vining plants that have no flowers because of intense shade.) hah.
