Window Box Planting with Blue Flowers and Foliage
Things to Keep in Mind:

  • These plants perform best in morning sun and afternoon shade.
  • Good fertilization keeps the flowers blooming and vigorous.
  • If you don’t want to get out the drill to mount the box on the house, place your planter box on a stand in front of a window.
  • This colorful combination of plants looks great as a window box on a white or pastel-colored house.

What a wonderful idea. This is a great idea to bring gardening up to my level as I am not able to bend to ground level. I have looked to you for great ideas and you always come thru. Miss your show on my local PBS.

The monochromatic color scheme is simply awesome! This idea could be carried out to blend with any brick and paint colors. Thanks again for a real popping idea!

I live in Chicago, Illinois zip 60625. In the last month I have searched every nursery in my area (includung Home Depot), for Proven Winners and the selection is very limited. Where else can I get them, maybe throught the mail? I am looking for lavender and pink Supertunias. Thank you, Doris

This container is a lovely one. It´s beautiful. I think it's necessary to bring nature near us, in this way we can understand and love nature more. Plants are beautiful decorations in our home. It`s nice to see them grow and produce their fruits and flowers. It's important to teach children to love nature.It makes life a more beautiful experieence.
