Balcony planting

in Plants
I live in a flat on the 8th floor and the balcony is south facing with glass “walls” and is covered so it doesn’t get any rain - and not much wind. I have two 80cm (length) Lechuza balconera planters and three 21cm Lechuza classico planters. I have also purchased the Lechuza Terrapon. I would like perennial flowering plants in the pots but I don’t really know what to buy - any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Look into plants that like arid conditions - succulents and grasses. I'm guessing you have no way to collect rainwater and you are on a water meter? In which case you want plants that can survive with as little water as possible. You have a small desert. It could be really interesting
But I live in rain soaked Devon so don't have much direct experience that would help you, I'm afraid. 'Peggy in Texas' may have some more useful suggestions .....
