I want to get a plant to hang off of my balcony?

Question

I want a plant with pink, purple or yellow flowers, also I want one that when winter hits I can bring it inside keep it alive and put it back out next summer. Does anyone know of a plant that would work out for me?

Answer 1

Pandorea jasminoides 'Rosea' pink bower vine, evergreen with trumpet shaped pink flowers in summer-fall. There is one with variegated leaves also.

Bougainvillea glabra 'Double Red' but at least 5 hours a day of full sunlight is the minimal light required for good bloom. These can be red ,pink, orange purple, white, or you can get variegated leaves.


Clerodendrum 'Glory Bower' 'Bleeding Heart Vine' in both vining and bush or small tree types. Pink ‘Bungei’ will grow in more temperature zones and is a hardier variety.

Answer 2

First poster in incorrect, the fruit will not be a cross breed, they will come out like they should, however, the seeds will be a cross but who actually saves seeds anymore, so your good with planting those types together, anyway as long as they get close to full sun, have good water and a large enough pot they'll be fine, the pot size is important, to small and you'll dwarf the plant and will produce very little and the soil will dry up very fast, I recommend at least a gallon of soil per plant if not two or three.

Answer 3

I have had a chenille plant in a hanging basket for 15 years. I bring it in each fall and just about kill it each winter. Then it goes back out in the spring.. it is very unusual and really cool looking. The pictures on the web site do not do it justice. it is easy to take care of. i highly recommend it.

Answer 4

Depending on what zone you're in, you could get some begonias. There are varieties that "trail" that are good for hanging containers.

They'll go dormant in the winter-- take them inside if you have harsh winters-- and they'll bloom again the next year.

They come in lots of bright colors- all of which you described as wanting above.

Answer 5

jasmines are really pretty...

if not bouganvillias, but you have to watch out for them during the winter... very fast growers though
