My balcony faces South, doesn't get direct sunlight but the sun does hit it for most of the day. I would like bright colors and fresh smells to make it more inviting. I don't want a vegetable garden. Also, tips on how to hang boxes so they aren't just on the ground would be helpful as well!
What are the best flowers to grow on a screened in balcony in Orlando, Florida?
I would use anthurium for a bright red flower. You could put it in a pretty container on the floor. Impatiens does well in Orlando and stays in bloom nearly all the time. It would be happy in a hanging basket by itself or with pothos or nephritis hanging down.
Dracena can be a spiky purple color in the middle of a container with 3 yellow coleus around it and spider plant hanging down.
You can hang baskets over the sides of your balcony rails. Boston Fern would be great there. You can buy baskets that are ready to hang at most any garden center.
Scented geraniums are great for most any
For even more interest you could put your containers on platforms or columns to make different heights.
