window box's what are the best perennials to grow in them?
Posted on Jun 27, 2009 under Best Perennials | 2 Commentsi live in zone 6 and the home i bought already had window box's so i would like to plant somthing that will come back every year. any suguestions?
if the window boxes are rather large and deep, you may want to try miniature evergreens. You can plant a few annuals around them in the spring or some trailing vines (vinca) and they will have interest in the winter. Many perennials that grow year after year in the ground will not come back if planted in a container, as the ground protects them from the cold of winter, and the container could freeze straight through….good luck
Where is the best place in the Cincinnati area to buy unusual perennials?
