@Nyboy here you go, if you are thinking about using succulents, feast you eyes on these. There is a little garden center on the mainland where I go to buy succulents and I'm sure garden centers where you are carry at least some of them. Pictures taken at this little garden center the last time I was there...
What you can plant in a hanging basket you could also grow in window boxes, containers or make wall hangings, mind you most of these are not winter hardy but if you have access to a cool greenhouse for the winter, just saying...
Loads of color here and most do flower but are mostly grown for the foliage. Below a picture of one of the benches in my greenhouse, since this pic was taken I have given a lot of these away . My first attempt of putting a hanging basket together, I didn't think it ended up looking too shabby.
It's the wet in winter that does them in, kept dry some will even make it through a freeze here if covered. I've wintered Echeverias in the ground by putting an upturned gallon pot over them. Most sedums on the other hand are winter hardy.
I forgot to add Hen and Chicks (Sempervivums) are quite winter hardy.
