The Impatient Gardener: How to plant a rockin' window box. I'm a bit obsessed with window boxes these days.
I think they are so charming and can cure a multitude of house exterior sins. If I were selling a house, I think a window box would be right up there on the must-do list for curb appeal. So, you might wonder, why am I just now putting a window box on my own house? I'll be honest, I never even thought of it before. But then I was studying this drawing of the house (showing an exterior elevation of the house for some work we hope to do later in summer) and I was incredibly bothered by the fact that one of the windows is shorter than the others. See that short window in the middle? I love looking for container inspiration, so I've been enjoying my hunt for great window box ideas. 1.
This home owner picked just one plant for the window boxes and it looks great (the plantings in the front, however, are a bit much for my tastes). Terrace Trough Mottled Stone. Rose 'Waterfall Collection' - Roses - Van Meuwen. Pot up rose plug plants and grow them on in warm frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors.
When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise rose plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting into window boxes, hanging baskets, and containers. Roses prefer a rich, fertile, well-drained soil. When planting roses in containers, mix some slow-release fertiliser into the compost prior to planting. Choose a final position in full sun. Lily 'Elegant Lady' - Lily Bulbs - Van Meuwen. Choose a sheltered position in moist, free draining soil.
Like other Easter lilies, Elegant Lady will prefer a semi shaded site and can tolerate an alkaline soil. Plant lily bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately 3 times their height and 15cm (6") apart. When growing lilies, make sure that they are planted deep enough as this will protect the bulb during particularly hot periods. Alternatively, try planting lily bulbs in large patio containers in loam based compost such as John Innes No.2. Caution: All parts of lilies are toxic to cats. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season.
