15 Blooming Plants to Decorate Your Windows and Balconies. They Are Easy to Grow in a Single Container
There are several plants that can grow in balcony containers or hanging pots. Common geranium, surfinia, lobelia, bacopa (water hyssop) verbena (vervain), scaevolas (fan-flowers) and many others. I don’t know whether you have your favourite one, or whether you have your favourite way of arranging various species on your balcony, but I want to show you that you can plant almost everything that blooms now.
#1 Geraniums with white and blue bacopa or silverleaf ponysfoots
Potted geranium is often grown with small hanging flowers that will fill the edge of the container or pot. Most often we go for white bacopas and lobelias, but their blue species also look good.
#2 White climbing geranium, light blue surfinia and white climbing lobelia
Most annual flowers has its ground cover and climbing species. That is why whenever you buy lobelias or vervains make sure what kind of them you are buying.
#3 Begonia and ground-ivy
#4 Geranium
There are so many species of geranium, be that climbing or ground cover, that you can arrange a flower decoration of geranium only.
#5 White surfinia with white bacopa
#6 Surfinia and bidens (beggarticks)
#7 White composition of geranium and bacopa
Bacopas is a beautiful white-blooming annual plant. It often blooms longer than geranium. However, when the summers is very hot, it may stop blooming. Later on the buds appear again. It doesn’t have to be a part of a composition. It looks good in hanging pots forming a middle size white ball of tiny flowers.
