There must be a window box on this picture to tempt you to be adventurous this year.

As you can see window boxes come in all shapes and sizes and there are no holds barred.

What Makes a Good Adventurous Window Box

The best designs allow the plants to take centre stage when in flower but do not look tired and out of place when the plants are finished.

Executive window boxes have labour saving automatic watering systems. You can arrange your own with drip feed via perforated tubing.

Depending on the plants you are growing remember a good big one beats a good small one (window box that is).

Bright coloured plants with a trailing habit make for a good window box. Lobelia, Fuchsia and Geraniums are popular but adventurers might try trailing tomato Yellow Tom, Verbena Silver Anne and Persicaria affinis Superba.
