If you’re stuck on how to decorate your porch or balcony, try your hand at hanging planters. They look especially gorgeous with luscious flowers and plants with big leaves. Check out these flowers that you can add to your space!

1. Bacopa or Sutera

This flower will drape over the sides of your planter and comes in lovely shades of blue, white, and pink. Hang it in a partly shady area where it can thrive. Keep the soil moist and don’t let it dry out between waterings.

2. Fuchsia

These flowers come in many different colors and sizes, and thrive when being kept in a humid environment. Make sure to use a well-draining potting soil, as they are susceptible to root rot.

3. Lobelia

These electric blue flowers are loved by butterflies and thrive best in spring. They are only a seasonal plant, and will need to be replaced by the end of June when the weather is hot.

4. Petunia

These flowers like hot summers best and will produce flowers continuously.

5. Sweet Alyssum

These flowers have a honey scent that will attract bees and butterflies. Pruning this plant is needed when it becomes overgrown.

6. Euphorbia

Easy to grow, this plant loves full sun and is drought and heat tolerant. It also doesn’t need much fertilizer, either.

7. Million Bells

This plant is easy to take care of. Moist soil and full sun is all it needs to stay happy, and it also tolerates heat well, too.
