Marigold

Marigolds are classic flowers in Indian gardens and balconies, and their bright and cheerful blooms are a delight to see. The bright golden-orange shade fills the garden with a burst of colour, and the soft fragrance is also a delight.

Palash

Palash flowers usually bloom from trees, and thus it is best to grow them only if you have a wide garden space. But the bright orange-red flowers are a delight to see, and they look like Flames in a forest.

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is a beautiful flower that looks perfect in small or big balcony gardens, and the bright red, pink, and even yellow flowers are a treat to the eyes. They bloom throughout summer, and fill the gardens with beautiful colour.

Amaltas

Amaltas trees produce beautiful yellow flowers that look bright as the sun on summer days. But Amaltas should only be grown if you have large garden grounds, or enough space in the balcony or terrace garden.
