Blue and white summer fairy tale - these plants make the dream come true

A white and blue planted flower box (€ 13.19 on Amazon *) gives you that carefree holiday feeling. If you put the following plants on your shopping list, the summer flowering fairy tale is guaranteed:

  • 1 farm hydrangea 'Bela' (Hydrangea macrophylla) with blue flower balls
  • 2 hardworking lizards (Impatiens walleriana) with white, unfilled flowers

  • 2 'Diamond Frost' magic snow (Euphorbia hybrid)
  • 2 snowflake flowers (Bacopa)
  • 2 Loyal to men 'Alba St. John' (Lobelia)

This planting suggestion is suitable for large flower boxes (€ 13.19 on Amazon *) of at least 100 cm in length and 30 cm in depth, so that the majestic farmer's hydrangea can unfold in all its glory.

Blossom festival for the evening - this is how it works

Can you only enjoy the magic of your flowers on the balcony after work? Then take advantage of these plants, which develop a bewitching scent in the course of the evening:

  • 4 elf mirror 'Fleurie Bluebird' (Nemesia strumosa) with sky-blue flowers
  • 4 Levkojen (Matthiola), for example 'Tudor Tapestry' with purple-pink flowers
  • 1 vanilla flower (Heliotropium arborescens) 'Marine' with dark purple flowers and a wonderful vanilla scent
  • 1 Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia), for example 'Blue Crusion' with blue, compact pads

This color combination of pink, purple and blue looks particularly elegant in the white wooden balcony box. The recommended plant community can be discovered in numerous other colors, so that there are no limits to your personal design ideas.

Tips

Would you like a balcony box with a privacy screen effect? Then put 3 pearl millets 'Purple Majesty' (Pennisetum glaucum) on your shopping list, which reach a stately 80 cm even in the flower box.
