A deep violet that makes us dream and provides charming touches in the garden and on the balcony - the vanilla flower owes its popularity to its flowers. In addition, it seduces us into an aromatic scent experience. What is important when combining?
Which plants can be combined well with the vanilla flower?
The vanilla flower can be perfectly combined with plants such as daisies, fairy mirrors, levkojen, magic bells and roses in the bed. Cape baskets, verbena, fan flowers, lobelias, hanging petunias, scented stoneworts and noble lilies go well in the balcony box.
What factors should you consider when combining the vanilla flower?
In order to fully enjoy the display of the vanilla flower, you should consider the following factors when considering the combination:
- Flower color: violet or blue, less often white
- Flowering time: May to September
- Location requirements: sunny, nutrient-rich and permeable soil

If, on the other hand, you would rather create a wonderfully fragrant oasis, combine the vanilla flower with fragrant roses.
