These balcony plants love morning sun - tips for the east-facing balcony
A breakfast on the balcony is the best way to start the day, when beautiful plants form the frame. The special light conditions on the east balcony require a good eye in the selection of flowers, shrubs and woody plants. This guide will introduce you to beautiful balcony plants created for a tête-à-tête with the morning sun.
Flowering climbing plants protect privacy
An extensive breakfast in a cozy bathrobe is only fun if the balcony is protected from prying eyes. For the design on the east balcony we recommend flowering climbing plants. The following beauties thrive in the flower box or bucket with integrated trellis:
If you would like a year-round screen on the east balcony, the focus is on evergreen climbing plants for partially shaded locations. Prime examples of this feature are golden ivy, Goldheart '(Hedera helix) and the majestic honeysuckle (Lonicera similis var. Delavayi).
Sea of flowers under the morning sun - Tips for the flower box
To perfectly showcase flower boxes on the east balcony, look out for species and varieties for the partially shaded location. For typical sun worshipers, such as petunias and geraniums, the morning sun is not enough as a light source. Few sun-hungry flowers, such as hanging pads of bluebells (Campanula poscharskyana) or scented violets (viola odorata), turn the east-facing balcony into a lavish sea of flowers.
Tips
Choose boxes and pots in cheerful colors when planting your balcony plants. With yellow, red and colorful striped vessels, the sunny mood will be maintained in the afternoon on the east balcony, when the sun has long since moved on.
