10 flowers that grow like crazy from a handful of seeds, blooming all over the balcony nonstop
Blue alyssum
Blue alyssum likes light, tolerates drought, and is also cold-resistant. Plant it in spring, it sprouts after a week, and blooms two or three months later, with an enormous number of flowers that easily spill over the pot!
When planting, use loose, breathable soil and water once a week. It is very easy to grow.
Petunia
Petunias come in many flower colors. They can bloom from April all the way until the first frost. Look at the balcony window below, it is simply stunning!
Petunias like warmth. In spring and summer, you can water in the morning and evening. During the rainy season, do not let the soil get too wet, otherwise they are prone to leggy growth and rot. Under normal conditions, they bloom 2~3 months after planting, so now is just the right time to plant them.
Million bells
Million bells is also called "dancing spring flower." It is fairly similar to petunia, with slightly smaller flowers, but they are more numerous, denser, and longer lasting, which makes it even more popular.
Dancing spring flower likes sun and is fairly shade-tolerant. With good sunlight, it branches vigorously and blooms abundantly. As for watering, just water once the soil is dry.
Spanish lavender
Spanish lavender likes light and tolerates cold. It has a very fresh fragrance, is perfect for balcony containers, and can also be used to make sachets and essential oil.
The soil for growing Spanish lavender should be loose and breathable. Never water it too wet. Lavender does not tolerate dampness and has no special requirements for light.
Nemesia
Nemesia has brilliant colors and likes light. Sown in spring, it sprouts in about 10 days and is suitable as a small container plant on the balcony.
The care points are similar to the flowers mentioned above. The soil should be permeable and breathable, and it can just be placed on the balcony~
Dianthus
Dianthus is also a relatively easy flower to grow. It tolerates cold and drought, and its bloom period is May~June.
Dianthus likes a sunny, dry environment, as well as a ventilated, cool, and moist environment. The soil should be fertile, loose, and well-draining.
Brazilian verbena
Brazilian verbena has extremely stunning and fresh flower colors. Just think, as summer approaches, having such a pot of small purple flowers on the balcony will keep your heart from feeling stifled.
Brazilian verbena likes light. Make sure it gets more than 4 hours of sunlight each day. During the growing period, fertilize once every half month so it can grow faster. It is not strict about potting soil, as long as it does not become compacted and stays breathable.
Rosemary
Rosemary can be used as an air freshener to drive away mosquitoes and insects, and can also be used as a culinary spice. It is a very practical small container plant, and many people like to grow a pot of it on the balcony.
Rosemary likes warmth and is fairly drought-tolerant. It needs plenty of sunlight and attention to ventilation, otherwise it is prone to pests and diseases. The more you prune it, the more it grows. The cut parts can be used for sachets or seasoning.
Thyme
Thyme is a herb that can be used to stew lamb! It blooms in summer and autumn, and can also reduce inflammation and relieve pain!
Thyme does not tolerate moisture, so do not water too much. Just water once the soil is dry, and make sure the soil is permeable and breathable.
Lemon balm
Lemon balm looks fairly similar to mint. About half a month after planting, it sprouts and grows very quickly. It is very easy to grow.
Lemon balm likes warmth, but pay attention to ventilation. A sandy soil with good drainage and breathability is best.
