With the summer season making an appearance, it's key to take care of your colorful blooms, wherever they may be. From blossoming beauties in backyard patios to precious flowers in window boxes — without a doubt, these delicate blooms will add style and character to your home.
When choosing the best flowers for window boxes, it's important to consider one thing and that is: sunlight exposure. Depending on the type of flower, blooms that prefer shade might get scorched in high levels of sun exposure. 'One thing to consider while choosing these flowers for window boxes is the sunlight exposure in your window,' says Kat Aul Cervoni, landscape designer and founder of Staghorn NYC and The Cultivation by Kat. 'Too much light and the plants are susceptible to drying out pretty quickly. So, for folks with extra-sunny exposures, it may be prudent to choose particularly water-savvy plants, such as sedums and succulents, or else watering might be a daily duty.'
