window boxes

Hi Ladies,

 I am looking for flowering plants that would be good for window boxes.  The boxes are in full sun for most of the day.  I like more of a wildflower, drapey kind of look but am open to all suggestions.  Here are a few images I found just for inspiration.  What do you al suggest?  Thank you so much for your ideas.

    Wave petunias are great at trailing, along with million bells which are just mini-petunias. Potato vine will give you some green foliage, and I recently saw a really cool box where they used oregano as a greenery.  ETA: It looks like they used both petunias and million bells in the first pic you posted.

  • petunias and sweet potato plants. crowd them in the box to encourage them to overflow like that.
  • You might try nasturtium. The leaves and flowers are great on salads and they're easy to grow from seed.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • The first box has some licorice vine and ivy in it.

    I just bought some baskets from a local boy scout troop and they have African bridal veil and wandering jew in with the million bells. They're gorgeous. Last year I had ivy leaf geranium which were lovely.

  • Thanks ladies!  I just went and spent a ton at the local gardening store.  Haven't planted yet.  :)
