Celebratory dinners or midweek meals that turn into balmy evenings under the stars are part of the summer fun. Setting the scene for these enchanting evenings outside is about ambience, from soft lighting and convivial company to chilled tipples and tasty nibbles. However, whether it's a group gathering or dinner à deux, you can enhance the mood with your plant choices.
From pretty plants that bloom at night or glow under the moonlight to fragranced flowers that release their scent when the sun goes down, there's a plethora of plantings that come alive in the evenings. Choosing these species can create a more sensory space for you and your guests.
