Lavender in general is just wonderful. We commonly associate the plant with it’s scent, but it is also great for cooking. As long as you live in a moderate climate, you should be able to successfully grow the plant. According to Balcony Garden Web, lavender plants bloom from June to September.
Daylilies are a great addition to any kind of garden, especially one on a balcony. They are a simple and painless addition to your growing little haven. According to Better Homes and Gardens, “their consistent blooms mean that they offer rooftop gardeners a good way to add color.”
Whether they be plump Roma tomatoes or small cherry tomatoes, this food is a great addition to a garden. Their red coloring provides a subtle yet appreciated pop that keeps the area looking lively and healthy. Not to mention, tomatoes belong in almost every type of cooking dish.
These cute little flowers are perfect for the hanging basket you were considering adding (yes, I did in fact read your mind). They are delicate, have a beautiful and soft color, while also lacking the dreaded overbearing presence other plants have.
Continuing on the path of an edible garden, zucchini would make for a wonderful balcony garden.
