Artificial hanging basket recommendations

Can anyone recommend a decent artificial hanging basket for outdoors please? I don't want the ball type but something a bit more flowing. Thanks!

Why? Why not get a real one?

No, they're all horrible and look cheap.

Get a real one or something else entirely.

A wind spinner, rain bells?

Why would you want more pointless plastic in the world? Even the expensive ones look rubbish after a bit of wear and tear. Why not grow some actual plants?

I have some grasses, ivy and creeping Jenny in my hanging basket, it thrives on neglect and only needs watering now and again. Don't get plastic it's awful.

Try evergreen direct.

No, they’re awful. Within 6 months it will look shit and end up in landfill

Don't

I'm only here for the predictable hatred of artificial hanging baskets and the first few posts didn't disappoint.

Although I'm sure someone can post a link to a naice real looking one that costs eleventy million pounds.

I had hanging baskets until I realised what a pain they were to water and that's when I did actually remember to do so.

Predictable for a reason, though, @BarbaraofSeville ??

They don't add anything to the world. Unlike real plants...
