| This planter overlooks due west |
Here's the first container planted for the west side railing balcony container. I used Dahlias (a larger dark pink flower dahlia as the central piece, two lighter pink, smaller flower headed dahlias planted on either side of the larger one)

and white bacopa on the far left and right of the planter. Bacopa did very well last year on the railing where it gets VERY windy at times.

There are still planters to be added and filled. Note the coconut husk planters further along the railing. A trip to my local gardening center is in store and I can hardly wait! I checked out Forest Hill Loblaws again but there isn't very much left of interest. It seems this year the selection wasn't as good as last year, but I am on a mission to create a beautiful balcony garden!
you look like you get a lot of sun up there - there's so much potential!
ReplyDeleteWhen the sun decides to shine we can get a good amount - I think somewhere in around 5 hrs, maybe close to 6 during the longest days of summer. But five on average. I have gotten more planters up so will be sharing that shortly. And yes, they are GORGEOUS!
