Flowers outside the window: how to decorate the outside of your home

Plant lovers typically don't limit themselves to decorating windowsills and garden beds with flowers. Today, there's a huge selection of potted structures that can be placed on balconies or attached to exterior walls. These structures can be used to plant your favorite plants and create unique arrangements. We'll help you choose the best flowers.

Pink tenderness

If you're looking to create a delicate, sweet arrangement, consider pink tulips as its centerpiece. Cascading ivy, ferns, and pale yellow pansies will add a touch of originality to the hanging flowerbed. Tulips are arranged along the length of the planter; their pink blooms look elegant against the green and yellow backdrop.

Spring mood

Yellow, white, and purple, combined with various shades of green, joyfully proclaim good weather. This arrangement will look most striking against a contrasting wall, such as dark brown or burgundy. Yellow calla lilies are planted in the back of the planter, while fluffy yellow and white hydrangeas fill the majority of the box on the sides and front. Tiny white bacopas are planted on the sides and front.

Lush color

A lush, vibrant box that will undoubtedly attract the attention of those around you can be filled with lushly blooming plants, such as variegated coleus, calibrachoa (a cousin of the petunia with slightly smaller flowers), periwinkle, and asparagus.

Bulbous family

The advantage of planting just one type of bulb, such as daffodils or tulips, to decorate your window is that they all bloom at the same time, creating a magnificent display of color. Bulbs literally grow before your eyes. Unfortunately, their lifespan is short, and daffodils and tulips won't delight you with long blooms. But they do bloom early and offer a veritable riot of color.

The Kingdom of Petunias

Petunias are the undisputed leaders in outdoor decor. Not only are they completely low-maintenance, but they also come in a huge variety of shapes and colors to satisfy even the most discerning gardener. They can be combined with green perennials, and drooping heads should be trimmed off after flowering.

Box of Abundance

For those who enjoy a constant riot of color and vibrant blooms, we suggest following the rule: "the more, the better." To achieve this, select perennial bloomers—pansies, geraniums, and snapdragons—and plant them close together, alternating colors.

The Kingdom of Succulents

A variety of succulents, planted in outdoor pots, will thrive year-round, provided a moderately warm winter. By early spring, they will gain strength, and some species will even produce flower stalks. A successful combination would be Kalanchoe, pink echeveria, jade, and sedum. Tall specimens of this group are planted at the back, wide and dense ones at the sides, and flowering, short ones at the front.

Field of buttercups

This playful ranunculus, in vibrant shades of dark pink and orange, will be a true eye-catcher in an outdoor planter. It's very low-maintenance, and if planted too densely, it can be interspersed with any groundcover.

Red tulips

Returning to tulips, we offer another option for a luxurious flowerbed. For this design, dark red bulbous soldier tulips are placed in the background of the composition, with a beautiful purple heliotrope planted in front.

Red roses

Various varieties of low-growing red roses are perfect for decorating the exterior of a house or gazebo. A pot containing them looks most impressive against a wooden wall, which emphasizes the flower's graceful appearance.

Lilies

Two lily flowers, shaped like tubes with a beautiful white flower at the end, are planted in a pot in the background, covered in front by English ivy and pink hyacinths, which bloom quite early.
