Green oasis: the best north-facing balcony plants

It's time for balconies again! And it's not just those facing the sunny side who can now plant their balcony lushly. Although the selection of north-facing balcony plants is not quite as large, there are still some flowers for the shade. These plants also thrive on the north side.

With the right plants, even a north-facing balcony can become a green oasis of well-being.

It's not just colorful decorations that conjure up fresh eye-catchers on shady balconies. With the right north-facing balcony plants, you can create a blooming oasis of well-being.

Flowers for the shade

Not only do bluebells look enchanting, they are also the perfect flowers for the shade, as they do not like direct sunlight. Hydrangeas are just as colorful and magnificent in the shade. Begonias are suitable as north-facing balcony plants, as they require little direct sunlight but provide particularly beautiful splashes of color.

Green plants for the north side

Boxwood is an evergreen plant and feels at home in the shade as well as in the sun. However, most varieties prefer shadier spots.
