You can choose and mix your balcony, terrace and garden plants as you may wish. Even in company with other flowers, pelargoniums are always a nice eye-catcher.

Mandevilla is one of the most grateful terrace plants, especially for very sunny locations. They are climbing plants and therefore perfect for decorating trellises and railings. Mandevilla, such as the Sundaville variety, should be planted in a pot or box, ideally from the 20th May on. 

They will decorate your terrace when the nights are stay warmer and the “ice saints” are over. In our marked garden you will find many different sizes and varieties.
