Hi everyone,
I’m planning to replant my balcony and would love some advice on suitable plants. I have four large planters (each approx. 120 × 50 × 70 cm) on a south-facing balcony – so lots of sun. I’ve attached a photo for reference.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
• For the two planters on the right, I’d like to plant low-maintenance, winter-hardy shrubs that can also provide some shade.
• The two on the left should feature flowering plants that look nice through summer, are drought-tolerant, and easy to care for.
• The balcony gets hot in summer, so the plants need to tolerate heat and occasional dryness.
• I live in a city with hardiness zone 7b/8a.
I’d really appreciate your suggestions – whether specific plant varieties, combinations, or personal experiences. Thanks a lot in advance!

Whatever you plant, I recommend installing an automatic watering system. It will make everything easier, and your plants will appreciate it
I would do an eounymous. I have one in a pot. If you are open to some sort of trellis, an evergreen clematis would be pretty.
This is one of the few times I would recommend you consider bamboo.
