Balcony Gardening

Need help chosing flowers....

17 years ago

I currently decided to plant some flowers on my balcony using pots and flower boxes. I was wonderig if anyone had any suggestions on the types of flowers to use, especially since they will be receiving lots of sunlight. I was hoping to have flowers in pinks and purples.

Thanks in advance, Allie

Hi Allie and welcome! Can you tell us something about your balcony? How much sun is "lots of sunlight"? Is it all day long or just morning or afternoon? Some flowering plants do better in part sun and others need full. Do you get alot of wind? Are you interested in perennials? There are hundreds of possibilities!
