The most beautiful plants for east-facing balconies
Trees such as the boxwood thrive very well in semi-shade. But sunny colors look particularly good on the east-facing balcony. Red, orange and yellow flowers lift the spirits and spread a sunny ambiance even in the afternoon. Violet and blue tones are elegantly seductive. And if you like it really classy, you can dress your balcony in delicate pink or snow-white flowers. If you have children or pets who like to nibble, you should avoid poisonous plants.
