First steps
Every business has its own characteristics, and floriculture is no exception. What flowers should I plant on the balcony and what do I need to create a flower garden?
So, it’s better to start arranging with repairs. It is not necessary to do a general rearrangement and renovation of the entire balcony area; it is quite enough to paint the railings or replace the flooring if the situation requires it. After this, you need to decide on the shade of colors that will fill the space. Ideally, flowers on the balcony should not blend in with the color of the walls.
You should immediately decide whether you will grow plants only for yourself, or whether you want passersby to admire your work. In any case, it is important to remember that the permissible load on the balcony must not be exceeded. Therefore, you should not chase the number of pots; it is better to give preference to a design that will allow you to create the perfect flower arrangement.
When placing flowers on the balcony, it is recommended to adhere to the general rules for designing such an area, as well as to correctly select the types of flowers, flower pots, and boxes.

Ornamental tobacco is a plant with large flowers that bloom at dusk and are distinguished by a persistent, delicate aroma. Bright hybrid varieties do not close during the day, but practically do not smell. Depending on the variety, fragrant tobacco grows from 20 cm to 1 m, so pay attention to this when buying seeds.
These flowers need to be watered sparingly, about two to three times a week. It is better to avoid overwatering.
