I think petunias would be the best cause of them cascading.

Sorie,

I have never used any periennials but all (I think ) of succulants. Here is mine.

Here is a link that might be useful: Jules Tipsy Pot

Juels what is the plant on the bottom? that is so pretty. Could it survive winter or have to be brought in? Thanks

Sorie,
That plant is Sedum makinol "Ogon" Stonecrop. (I made sure to stick their tags in the pots so I could refer to them later). Details on the tag state takes sun (even though I have it in shade all morning), tolerates drought (although I have my tipsy pot hooked to drip emitters on every pot), moderate growth (gets up to 1 1/2' tall). It states for outstanding features as a groundcover with dark maroon foliage with burgundy blooms. (mine has always been green and never bloomed. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that it is cold hardy to 20F. I've never brought it in--that pot is the same all year round. So, does that help? HAve fun with yours and show us pics when youhave it all planted up.

Love, Jules

I finally did my first tipsy. From top to bottom:
nemesia, million bell, million bell, dwarf geranium, regal geranium, regal geranium. It came out better than I had expected...

I plant Portacula in mine. It's the only thing that doesn't dry out too much.

I got a big kick the other morning. There were two women in an SUV stopped outside looking at my pots. Maybe it will start a trend in the neighborhood.

Tracy I love your tipsy pots. The colors are very complimenting.

Some great pots there!!
I'm doing mine today.
Doing annuals this time that are bold & bright, mostly
petunias & some things to trail, a sweet potato, some trailing bacopa, oh, I got some of the new sun coleus to try. The things I had in them in the past were boring, herbs mostly & no one ever noticed them!

I found that succulents grow best for me. It depends on where you will plant them etc. They do dry out fast so that will also make a difference. If you want to water all the time etc. Thats why I went with the succulents in mine. I don't have to worry about watering etc. But then I live in a hot dry area.

I have used the wave petunias, ivy geranium and trailing verbena is very pretty to use! I just planted mine yesterday, I use old buckets for my pots, I will post a pic when it gets filled out more.

Oh cindee how beautiful are the orange ones are...

Please tell us about that beautiful red cascading succulent!

I used plastic pots for a tipsy tower in my daughter's garden. Spray painted them (Krylon Fusion) in rainbow colors and added fowering plants of the same color.

For the green I juset used a parsley
