For several years I have helped my friend Connie plant a garden on her balcony. She loves different textures of greens and whites but we throw in a little purple and yellow. The favorites are potato vine, coleus, diamond frost, and licorice vine. We added in the purple Persian Shield and Millions Bells and the yellow and white marguerite daisies. The daisies didn't get enough sun so we will try something else this year.
It always starts with a just a simple flat of plants....but it doesn't take long for it to take off and take over the balcony.
We have always planted white fall clematis (paniculata) in the back right corner to climb on the railing....and this year we planted moonflower in the right front corner...the two met in the middle and and it was spectacular!
We often caught a moonflower opening in the late afternoon.

The clematis went crazy last year and was a nice show for the lower courtyard
and tumbled over the wall for the new neighbors to enjoy from their balcony.
Wow! She must have perfect light. The plants love it, obviously!
