The options are endless,
Is your balcony a very sunny location or more indirect sun? How about
an annual vine like
Cardinal Climber, It has lots of unique leaves and stunning scarlet
red trumpet flowers,
Have you thought about a small herb garden, check out different types
of pottery and plant rosemary,
thyme, sage etc. they provide greenery and savory scents, and are
useable in the kitchen.
I tend to sketch the area i want to plant and check out different
plants online, which are hardy for
my area and arrange them as i like, try adding one unique plant then
another and so on.
