If your making your first attempt at developing a green thumb, try your hand at a signature cottage delight—the window box. Bright blooms and cascading greens are the perfect way to welcome Spring. I have put together a picture page of ideas to get your creative green thumb growing.
If bright colors don't work with the exterior of your home, flowers in muted colors can look quite elegant. Choose a high quality potting soil for your planters and replace it annually.
Remember to take into account the color of your home.This home (below) without a window box looks dull. These flowers and colors really brighten up an otherwise dull grey brick home. Cascading and trailing plants add additional dimension to your arrangement. A window box with gorgeous cascading blooms and bright greens also adds gorgeous curbside appeal.
Utilizing plants of varying heights can add depth and will make each plant
more visible within the planter. By layering tall plants behind those that
thrive close to the soil, you can
easily create an expertly arranged container.
Window boxes offer a wide array of appeal in their flexibility. They add instant personality to the home and invite color and sweet fragrance indoors with the opening of a window. Whether neat and uniform or lush and overflowing, the addition of a window box cheerfully welcomes spring and brings some cottage charm to the home.
