Share on: Instagram Facebook Twitter



During these last months in our blog we have focused on many aspects concerning the care of flowers and plants in autumn. With the arrival of the cold season, flowers and plants do not go into hibernation, on the contrary they require even greater care in different spaces of your home or your garden. Today we decided to talk about your balcony. If during the summer it was inhabited by a variety of colors and summer flowers and now you see it sad and bare, don't worry! We have the solution for you. Here is a short list of five autumn flowers that would be perfect in this context. In this way, even in late autumn you will be able to have a balcony full of flowers and colours.

Cyclamen

The cyclamen is considered the autumn flower par excellence. If you want to fill your bare planters you can opt for this plant which has a wide range of colours. Cyclamen are in fact famous throughout the world as ornamental plants. If you want to have a beautiful flowering of cyclamen we advise you to start sowing them between the months of July and August in a soil very rich in humus, so with the arrival of the cold season the plants will already be quite strong to tolerate the drop in temperature. The only limit of these colorful flowers is the frost so it is better to expose them only in the autumn period and not in the winter.

Violetta: the flower of the cold

While cyclamen are typical autumnal because they do not survive cold winter temperatures, violets are perfect even in harsher climates. They can in fact easily resist even until the arrival of spring. They are colorful and useful for enriching planters and balconies, even managing to overcome the snow! They are in fact very resistant flowers as they do not require much care and adapt to any type of soil. Choose a south-facing place for them on your balcony that is sunny during the day.

Gaulteria

Gaulteria or called by the technical term Gaultheria procumbens, is a small bush of red berries that can last not only in autumn but also in the middle of winter. It is a splendid ornamental plant that gives us brightly colored berries. A little advice we can give you is to start introducing it to your balcony because it is a plant that, in addition to giving a truly unique color tone, is great for creating some elegant Christmas centrepieces.

Periwinkle

Vinca or periwinkle is an evergreen herbaceous plant, it generally falls on the edges of the vase and then, starting in spring, produces beautiful flowers. It includes seven species of evergreens, but for autumn flowering it is better to lean towards three main types: Vinca Major, Vinca Difformis and Vinca Rosea. Even if it doesn't produce flowers in autumn, the greenery that remains is an excellent filler to show off a lush balcony.

Heather: a plant that loves the cold

Heather calluna or calluna vulgaris is a plant that loves the cold, it can survive even in harsh temperatures as it is a type of plant used to living among rocks in the mountains and is therefore satisfied with limited spaces. When it is repotted, remember to add a handful of gravel to prevent the water from stagnating.
