Impatients. They come in various bright colors and grow so fast and with a multiple levels hanging down!
Reply:You need to first figure out if it will have mostly morning sun or afternoon. Some flowers like impatients and begonias prefer the morning sun and afternoon shade. If it is in the shade in the afternoon try New Guinea impatients and maybe add some ivy to that. If in the sun try Million Bells. They look like a mini petunia but with smaller blooms and more color. They love the sun and they spread so it won't take to many of these to fill the pot. Also if you would rather have a perrenial that will come back every year try Dianthus.
Reply:Giant marigolds; Coleus; Salvia... for height; wave petunias, ivies, reg. petunias for color %26amp; trailing/hanging properties %26amp; "dusty millers" added for their unique shape %26amp; color. Geraniums %26amp; petunias are great as they come in many colors! Have Fun!
Reply:If you want a variety of different plants in your pots, be sure that they are compatible with each other. Impatiens are a good idea, they like moist soil and some shade. Try planting an elephant ear or some caladiums in the center, surrounded by impatiens and then buy a little ivy to hang over the side. All of these plants like moist soil.


Another way to go is with plants that like drier soil. Geraniums like to be watered after they dry out a little. They would go well with petunias spilling over the side of the pot. Look for wave petunias, easy to grow and ever blooming. Verbena is another flower that practically loves to be ignored.
