Hanging flowers to the balcony. They bloom all summer until the first frost
Surfinia and Cascading Petunia are queens of balcony compositions. Plants available in a countless range of colors create a spectacular view. When choosing flowers, you should choose rain and wind resistant varieties. We should also remember that regular removal of faded flowers stimulates plants for further flowering. The compositions will perfectly complement the hanging begonia. These plants delight with the variety of shapes and colors of flowers, from delicate pastels to intense reds and oranges. Begonia will be perfect for a shady balcony. To enjoy flowers, regular watering is important as possible, but avoid soaking leaves to prevent fungal diseases. Another plant with a hanging habit is an elegant fuchsia with unusual bell -shaped flowers. These flowers feel great on semi -shaded balconies. During the flowering period, we fertilize them every two weeks with fertilizer for flowering plants. For those who prefer the classic is ivy geranium, known for its long flowering and drought resistance. Flowers are available in many colors, from white to dark red. It is important to regularly remove faded inflorescences, this will stimulate the plant to create new buds. Lobelia is our last proposal. A plant with small, but charming flowers that form dense, hanging cascades in shades of blue, purple and white. Lobelies prefer sunny or semi -shaded positions and regular watering. After the first flowering, it is worth cutting shoots to stimulate it to bloom again.
Hanging flowers to the balcony. What plants to combine them with?
It is good to combine hanging flowers with other plants. If we are looking for interesting balcony arrangements, we can, for example, combine surfine with decorative grasses such as: silina festes or Japanese splash. The contrast of textures and colors will add composition of dynamics and originality. A hanging begonia can be combined with plants with erected habit, e.g. heather or chrysanthemums. Thanks to this, we will get the effect of depth and three -dimensionality. We can also play with colors. If we care about a coherent and elegant composition, choose plants with similar colors, e.g. fuchsia, olvagneous pelaronia and lobelia in shades of pink and purple. Let’s not be afraid to combine different species and colors to create compositions that we will like. It is important to properly care for plants. Healthy and abundantly blooming flowers will always look beautiful.
