My Windowbox

For a Summer Only Window Box

For more great ideas for your windowbox see the BBC's Gay Search advice

You can’t go wrong with Geraniums. Bright red is stunning. For a trailer, I would suggest Bacopa Snowflake. It will grow all summer and all winter (if mild and not like the last one!), which is a wonderful bright green with hundreds of little white flowers. And how about some Nasturtiums which will climb and fall all summer for additional colour.

Another suggestion is a mixture of veined Surfinias (pink, purple or blue) with trailing green-grey Helichrysum. Or for another excellent trailer, why not try variegated Nepeta.

For an All Year Round Display.

Use a backdrop of Box (hedge), interspersed with a purplish/dark red Heuchera, trailing variegated Hedera (ivy) and interplant with seasonal bedding plants: Primulas or purple, blue or double coloured Violas in the Spring, Petunias, Begonias or Impatiens in the Summer.

Or for something simple and elegant, plant with blue/purple Hydrangea on either side of your window box trough with a centre piece of box and variegated Hedera (ivy) at the front.
