You have no idea how hard it is to find a plant that will grow on my balcony. It is very hot in the summer and I have to water the post every day. Not all annual flowers like it. They grow smaller, and dry out sooner than the ones in a garden.
Of course I have succulents that enjoy it, but I wanted something that will bloom for me.
And I found Periwinkles! They are just perfect (beside Pelargoniums, but that's for another post). They like sun, don't mind the heat and since we do not have freezing cold winters I can keep the pot outside and they will regrow on their own. Either way from the last years stems, or from seeds that will drop after they are done blooming.
I do suggest to pick the seeds whenever you can and sow them again in new soil. But looks like they can take care of themselves pretty well.

Great stuff! I really like colourful plants like these to lighten up my garden. Do you specifically look for smell aswell?

Thanks! Those are just perfect! Not very big and super cute.
No, I don't look for smell. It is more important that they handle the weather. I have freesias that bloom in spring and I just love their fragrance. But they don't last long and right now they are all dried up.
