Which plants fit on the east balcony?

The most beautiful plants for east-facing balconies
Woods such as boxwood thrive very well in partial shade. But sunny colors look particularly good on the east-facing balcony. Red, orange and yellow flowers lift the mood and create a sunny atmosphere even in the afternoon. Violet and blue tones look elegantly seductive. And if you like it very classy, you can dress your balcony in delicate pink or snow-white flowers. However, anyone who has children or pets who like to nibble should avoid poisonous plants.
