About this deal

Caring for a window box with celosia is quite easy, as it requires little pruning and deadheading. The plant is drought-tolerant once established, but it benefits from regular watering during periods of dry weather. Regular fertilization encourages healthy growth and blooming. If you don't prune at all or not enough, the plant will start getting leggy at the base and may lie down or just look straggly. Annual plants complete their life cycle in a single growing season, typically from seed to maturity, flowering, and seed production, all within one year. Examples of common annual plants for window boxes include marigolds, zinnias, petunias, impatiens, pansies, and celosia.

The various shades of lavender are well-suited to a display with a gradation of colour from light to dark. Don’t place the plants right next to each other - lavender must be able to breathe a bit. Reinforce the plant's summery French feel with image material and terracotta pots, and show what lavender can do in the limited space of a balcony with a bistro set. Combining the plant with items such as lavender soap, lavender salt and lavender oil can boost sales. In this article, we explore the different types of plants that thrive in window boxes, the best flowers to plant in window boxes, tips for creating a stunning floral display, and suggestions for window box flower arrangements.

Zinnias are excellent for window boxes since they provide a burst of color and attract pollinators to your garden. They come in various sizes, ranging from small, compact plants (6-12 inches) to tall, branching varieties (4 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide). Choose a color scheme: Decide on a color scheme that complements your home and personal style. You can choose a monochromatic scheme, such as all pink or all white flowers, or a complementary scheme, such as purple and yellow or pink and green. Consider foliage plants like coleus or variegated ivy to add interest and texture. Creating a beautiful window box flower arrangement requires planning. You must consider a few key factors, including the sunlight needs, height and texture, color scheme, soil, watering needs, fertilization, and maintenance. Here are some tips to help you create the best window box flower arrangement:The pale, silvery,evergreenfoliage reflects the light joyously throughout the year; the flowers are really a bonus. Left to itself, it forms a rounded muffin-shaped bush that adds structure to the front of a herbaceous bed, softening the boundary with a lawn or path, and it can be clipped beautifully into simple geometric shapes.

Lavender requires damp soil but dry leaves. The plants should not be placed together for too long because they are prone to botrytis. Ideally, all your window boxes should have drainage holes in them, but many on the market do not, in which case it's advisable to line the bottom of the window box with gravel, or chips from a broken terracotta pot to prevent water logging in the soil.Or, safely drilling a few holes in the bottom.Avoid cutting into the older, woody part of the stems: if you prune yearly, you should never need to do this. Edible window box: Plant a window box with a mix of colorful flowers and edible herbs such as basil, parsley, and thyme. You will have fresh herbs on hand for cooking and a pretty window box to enjoy. Petunias are beautiful flowers for window boxes since they produce abundant blooms and have a long blooming season, so you will be able to enjoy their bright colors from spring until fall. There are many petunia varieties, such as Limelight, Cascadias Rim Magenta, and Fortunia Early Blue Vein. Heavy clay on a dry, sunny hill that sheds water should be fine, but light, dry, poorly fertile soils are ideal. Examples of trailing plants for window boxes include trailing petunias, sweet potato vine, English ivy, creeping jenny, trailing succulents likea string of pearls or burro’s tail, creeping phlox, and creeping thyme.
