Best Monsoon Flowers for Balcony Gardens

June is here, and so is the wait for the first monsoon showers. Raindrops don't just make the weather pleasant; they also mark the best time for plants to grow and flowers to bloom. If you have a small balcony and want it to be full of colourful flowers as soon as the monsoon starts, you can plant a few specific varieties. These plants grow quickly in the rainy season and give beautiful flowers with very little care. They will give your balcony a natural garden look and fill the air with freshness.

Hibiscus

The Hibiscus plant grows very fast at the start of the monsoon and produces large, attractive flowers. Its red, yellow, pink, and orange flowers will surely make your balcony beautiful. If you plant it in June, the rainwater will help it grow better. Just place it where it gets some light sunlight and ensure water doesn't collect in the pot.

Periwinkle

People consider Periwinkle a favourite plant for the monsoon season. It grows easily even in a small pot with less soil. After the first rain, it starts flowering continuously. Its white, pink, and purple flowers make the balcony look very attractive. The best part is that it doesn't need much maintenance. 

Portulaca

Portulaca is also called Moss Rose. This plant grows well in both rain and light sun. Its small but bright flowers come in many colours, making the balcony look stunning. If you plant it in June, you can see continuous blooms throughout the monsoon. Soil with good drainage is considered best for it.

Butterfly Pea

Butterfly Pea, or Aparajita, is a beautiful vine plant. Its growth speeds up during the monsoon season, and its blue or white flowers give the balcony a unique look. You can plant it near a railing or a small trellis. The moisture from the rain helps it spread quickly.

Marigold

Marigold is an excellent choice to plant at the beginning of the rains. This plant grows quickly and brightens up the balcony with its yellow-orange flowers. The monsoon moisture helps strengthen its roots. With proper care, it will keep giving flowers for a long time.
