If your balcony is looking a little ragged around the edges, join the club. I’ve started pulling out plants that don’t look so good and cutting back others that could use a haircut. If you need a little inspiration to spruce up your balcony this fall, check out these combos:
1) Orange Mums, Sweet Potato Vine ‘Blackie,’ and Artimesia ‘Oriental Limelight’ - Orange, plum and lime look really great together and will spice up your balcony or patio with a little bit of the unexpected.
2) Japanese Anemone, Maidenhair Fern, and Lamium – If you have a shady balcony, try using this combo with it’s bright white accents to lighten things up.
3) Goldenrod, Aster, Statice – This is a great combo if you’re looking to add some height. Look for a variety of goldenrod called ‘Golden Baby,’ it stays more compact and only gets to be about 24 inches tall.

Goldenrod and asters, two of my favorite plants, period. I do look forward to their appearance all summer long!
I love the Japanese anemone, too. I really like the idea of pairing it with the maidenhair fern. Such beautiful, delicate textures! Though, the ferns might get a bit crispy on my patio.
Love it! My Blackie needs some new filler… orange mums are just the ticket!!
Just found you through 66 Square Feet, great find! and looking forward to more!
