When temperatures slowly rise again in spring, many hobby gardeners want to get started on balcony plants.
But not all flowers can tolerate the cold nights.
From spring onwards, many people would like to transform their balcony into a blooming paradise again.
But when is the ideal time to start planting?
After all, not every flower can tolerate the cold nighttime temperatures that often prevail in spring.
We show which plants are already allowed outdoors in flower boxes and pots.

From March onwards, typical spring bloomers such as
Daffodils
Tulips
Crocuses
Hyacinths
Pansies
Can be planted on balconies and terraces.
However, onion plants should be planted in autumn and overwintered in the cellar before they develop shoots in the last weeks of winter.
If you don't have time to grow the flowers yourself, you can also buy them commercially.

Frost-resistant summer bloomers can also be planted in the flower boxes from around the end of March or beginning of April.
These include cyclamen, chrysanthemums and lupins.

Only plant perennial plants on the balcony after the Ice Saints
However, perennial plants such as geraniums should not be brought outside too early as frost can damage the plants.
Overwintered flowers can be taken out of their winter quarters in March, repotted if necessary and slowly acclimated to the sun again before they are brought outside after the ice saints.
You can easily transform your balcony into a blooming oasis in spring.
However, always consider the individual care requirements of each plant and adapt them accordingly to the conditions on your balcony.
So nothing stands in the way of a colorful spring.
