Full sun plants – sunny balcony and terrace

Full sun plants are perfect for balconies and terraces that receive a lot of light. Some plants particularly enjoy these conditions and grow better when they get several hours of direct sunlight each day.

Which plants should you choose for full sun?

A south or southwest-facing balcony or terrace can receive several hours of direct sunlight daily. It is therefore important to choose plants that can withstand heat and dry periods.

Mediterranean plants are especially suited to these conditions. Some varieties from the Mediterranean urban garden collection are known for their high resistance to sun and heat.

Create a sunny balcony with different plants

Combining several types of plants helps create a balanced balcony or terrace. Shrubs structure the space, flowering plants add color, and climbing plants allow you to green walls and railings.

Plants from the flowering plants and climbers and ground cover collections make it easy to compose a lively and colorful outdoor space.

Create a heat-resistant outdoor space

On a sun-exposed balcony, some plants can experience significant water stress. It is therefore advisable to choose plants that are resistant and suitable for pot cultivation.

Plants from the hardy and resilient collection can also provide a solid foundation for creating a durable balcony or terrace.
