Well first I'll tell you I haven't tried blackeyed susan vine, but I will now. Some of things I have tried in baskets are, trailing lantanas, periwinkles, million bells (want those), violas, oranamental peppers, nastutiums, and even some morning glories. I am very interested to see what ideas others have. I am going to keep an eye on your thread. Josie

Hi Josie, Yes, the Blackeyed susan vine in a hanging basket is gorgeous !! AND a big seller too. I put 4 - 5 in a 10 or 12 inch basket. You have to pinch the top once they have their true leaves so they branch out and get nice and full. You also have to keep the baskets a good distance away from one another or they will grow into one another and you will have a tangled mess of baskets. A true winner though.!!

The black eyed susan vine in a basket sound like it would awesome!!! Now I want to try that this year, I usually grow them on a trellis. How many true leaves do you let develop before you pinch? What a good idea, thanks! I have never grown anything except Nasturtiums from seed for my baskets, usually I just but the usual Wave Petunias, Dichondra, etc...

Ooh, I ordered some cypress vine this year (another type of ipomoea)...maybe I will try that in a basket too:) I have some left over Glory Vine seeds from last year...I didn't have any luck with them...maybe i will try them in a basket. I love planning and new ideas, how exciting!!!

I have some yellow BES seed from a previous year...the hanging basket sounds good...I wonder how it would look with a combo of BES and Cypress Vine? I love yellow and red together. Anyone try it?
