First window box: daylillies, sun, and overcrowding

Posted by jennstar 7 NC (My Page) on

I just started my first window box. I have marguerite daisies, latana, rosemary, petunias, moss roses, and sweet potato vine already planted, and I have room for one more plant. I don't know if I should put my daylily there, or plant it seperately and find something else for that spot.

Also, I only get sun on my balcony in the afternoons, right now from about 3 on. Should I be concerned, since these are all full to partial plants?

Finally, I don't know if I have the box too crowded. There are eight individual plants in it right now. Should I get another box and split it up?

PUTTING A DAYLILY IN THE WINDOW BOX MIGHT MAKE IT LOOK MISPROPORTIONED, I WOULD PLANT THE DAYLILY SOMEWHERE ELSE AND ADD A COLORFUL ANNUAL TO THE WINDOW BOX. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE TOO OVERCROWED, I WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT TO JUDGE. GOOD LUCK
