| Petunias! The waves and avalanche series are "cleaner" and can take a whipping. But any petunia would do - they'll give you continuous color all thru the season and beyond. Love 'em all! Seriously, there are lots of plant you can use in your full sun boxes. For "taller" plants, you could use salvia, nicotiana, or fountain grass, for instance. For "middle" height, you could use petunias (upright types), sun coleus, dwarf dahlias, gomphrena; for trailers, you could use petunias again (trailing or cascading types), sweet potato vine, trailing lantana, ivies. I tend to stick to annuals in my windowboxes, simply because of the overwintering issue (11th floor balcony in NYC); the (lack of) depth just doesn't cut it, unless you can take the entire box into a garage or something. Someone recently posted this link - Plant-by-numbers. Nice site for ideas. HTH ... PV |
