The balcony is the most important element of your home. We don’t say that. The numbers do. Since the start of the pandemic emergency, the price of houses with balconies has skyrocketed. This is because, as we have already mentioned in previous guides, the balcony is the place that allows an external contact with nature. A super inviolable zen zone. So a house with a balcony has its charm these days. But which plants are best suited to this task? Let’s find out!
The flowers that best represent spring are undoubtedly the tulips. Delicate and multi-hued, they are also very easy to find. You can find them in bulbs for planting in autumn or the very closed buds for planting in this period.
We recommend that you also buy perforated pots to disperse excess water and prevent the bulbs from rotting.
Another type of plant to consider is begonias. They are bought at the beginning of the season and can therefore be planted as early as March. The only drawback is that you have to wait until at least June to see the flowers bloom. But these are really wonderful flowers that make our balconies look rich and well cared for.
Do you want plants that are always green? That are super hardy even in winter? Well, you have to buy them. Azaleas. With their magenta, white and red colours, azaleas flower from March until October. This is a very long period of time, which means that your balcony will be flawless for a very long time. The special feature? These plants do not suffer from heat or cold and adapt easily to any type of soil. But remember: it must be well drained and have a high level of acidity.
The most spring-like yellow there is is only his: the daffodil! Small flowers that bring a burst of vitality, daffodils are also ideal indoors. Perfect for those who aren’t particularly green. Because once they have dried, they can be stored (the bulbs) and replanted later. Flowering is guaranteed and the effect is the same!
In conclusion, with this mini-column, you have seen how to create a flowery balcony with little money but with great style. Have you already chosen the right plants for your balcony?
