When spring is coming to an end, late-winter balcony plants have done their job. Flowers, perennials and ornamental trees are now taking over the floral sceptre, which make up for their sensitivity to the cold with a lavish sea of blossoms. These ideas may inspire you for imaginative balcony planting from June.

Summery overture in the flower box - flowers from June

At the end of May, the spring bloomers on the balcony are just a shadow of themselves. By swapping out the plants in the flower box (€16.99) after the icy saints, you can create a seamless transition to the summer blossoms. The following flowers and perennials boast a colorful array of flowers from June:

  • Large-flowered 'Sun Child' (Coreopsis grandiflora) with bright yellow flowers from June to August
  • Geraniums (Pelargoniums), standing and hanging in beautiful colors from June to the first frost
  • Petunias, magic bells (Petunia) with dense clusters of flowers or hanging cascades of flowers from June

The distinctive hussar's button (Sanvitalia procumbens) has taken the hearts of balcony gardeners by storm as a tireless perpetual bloomer. Its bright yellow flowers are reminiscent of sunflowers, so this annual beauty is also called dwarf sunflower. With a graceful growth height of 20 cm, the plant forms decorative hemispheres in flower boxes or hanging baskets well into autumn.

Tub beauties for the early summer balcony - start free from June

June throws the gate wide open for the appearance of the most beautiful flowering shrubs for the balcony. In the sunny location, bedding and shrub roses inspire in large tubs. Stunning panicle hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata) shine in partially shaded locations with their huge flower spikes. The white double flowers of the star bush (Deutzia scabra) attract butterflies in droves.

A balcony on the north side of the house does not go empty handed in June. Shade-tolerant ball hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla) feel at home in this location. The innovative variety 'Schloss Wackerbarth' from the Royality line sets spectacular accents with three-colored flower balls made of green-yellow and red-pink individual flowers with a blue eye.

tips

June is a good opportunity to replace non-grown balcony plants. Pull the unwilling plants out of the substrate and fill in the gaps with new specimens. Summer temperatures, regular fertilizing and watering ensure that the newcomers quickly catch up with the growth advantage of their plant neighbors.
