If the rose is the queen of the garden, then the petunia is the queen of the windowsill. City housewives and summer residents alike are happy to decorate their windows with this flower.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to grow petunia seedlings. But other flowers are not even mentioned, although they are less demanding in terms of care.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what to plant instead of petunias.
Here are three plants that look no less beautiful, but are much less whimsical than petunias.
Bidens
A completely unpretentious plant. It can be grown in a hanging pot or in classic vases.
The only thing to consider is the love of light. The intensity of flowering depends on the lighting.
Scaevola
It blooms very unusually, and the flowers of the plant are quite unusual.
Another advantage is that scaevola will decorate the windowsill for the whole summer. It can be planted in pots or as an ampelous plant.
Fuchsia
The flower has a fairly varied color, is covered with a beautiful cascade of inflorescences and blooms for a long time.
Best grown in a hanging pot.
