What are the best flowers to buy for my porch? ?

Question

It gets moderate sun exposure, and moderate shade. I live in a apartment, and my porch is on the side, between two complexes. I live in Florida, so it gets pretty warm. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Don't know how big your porch is but I think a banana tree or a palm would be nice in Florida. For flowers hibiscus would be happy or a bird of paradise. Try to find a nursery that sells plants and go check it out. You will surely find something spectacular and can get information there on how to keep it that way.

Answer 2

check out some local nurseries. they probably have some great plants that would look great on a porch and bloom all year round. i would suggest some mums, begonias or dahlias. but i'm not sure how they grow in florida. ornamental grasses are beautiful and you could always give your porch a theme. maybe oriental or zen or something. that always makes it fun!

Answer 3

If you are able to hang anything you should hang ferns, they give a southern charm to a porch and are very hardy.

Hang at least 2. Underneath that in pots on the ground, I like impatiens, specifically red and white mixed. Both ferns and impatiens are primarily shade plants but can tolerate some sun. Both should be kept well watered.
