Stylish planting ideas for the summer flower box do without all kinds of motley. Floral tone-on-tone creations paired with seductive fragrances are in trend. The following planting suggestions for the sunny to partially shaded balcony may serve as an incentive for your individual design variations.

The Lantana brings color to the balcony

Yellow-white blossoms with a seductive honey scent - that's how it works

Decorate your flower box (€16.99) with the following plant composition, it announces itself from afar with the beguiling scent of honey. Attracted by the sweet aroma, hordes of butterflies buzz around the yellow and white flowers. You can easily empathize with the following planting suggestion:

  • 2 scented stones 'Easter Bonnet White' exude a wonderful honey scent from white upholstery flowers on the front right and left
  • Place 1 Gazania 'Kiss Yellow' with sunny yellow flowers right behind it
  • 1 Lantana 'Esperanta Yellow' shows off its yellow flowers on the other side
  • Place 1 magic bell 'Lemon Slice' with white-yellow flowers between the two scented stones in the foreground

The harmonious appearance is rounded off by a dwarf curry 'Aladin', which is enthroned in the middle of the back box. Its silvery, shimmering leaves smell appetizingly of curry. In the summer it is joined by a pretty splendor of yellow flowers.

Floral moments of happiness in pink and violet with a vanilla scent - idea for replanting

We have put together a picturesque summer fairy tale in elegant colors combined with the scent of vanilla and rosemary for you here:

  • 2 vanilla flowers 'Nagano' form the frame with lilac-colored flower umbrellas in the front of the flower box on the right and left
  • 1 balcony sage 'Farina Violet' takes its place just behind it as a violet butterfly magnet
  • 1 Rosemary 'Abraxas' joins its herbal counterparts with purple flowers and grey-green foliage
  • 1 magic bell 'Calita Purple Star' acts as an eye-catcher in the foreground between the vanilla flowers with white-pink flower cascades

As the leading figure in the harmonious play of colours, the 'Gambit Rose' magnificent candle skilfully picks up on the theme with dark pink flowers that appear from July to October. Ideally position this plant next to the rosemary and behind a vanilla flower, as it towers above all others in terms of growth.

tips

A summery balcony in the shade is by no means doomed to be colorless. They actually exist, perennials and flowers that also bloom in the flower box in the shady location. The native wood wind rose (Anemone nemorosa) provides convincing evidence with white flowers. Fern corydalis (Corydalis cheilanthifolia) and mountain cranesbill (Geranium nodosum) are perfect plant neighbors.
