Treat buying your plants like you would finding a date: shop around. In fact, carry that metaphor a little further and look for the same traits in your plants that you would in a mate:
Good roots (
Well-formed foliage
Vigorous growth
The absence of diseases or pests
If your window box is deep enough, you can actually place your purchased plants, pot and all, into the window box and not worry about soil. This allows you to remove plants that have passed their prime and replace them quickly without a lot of needless work. When the plants grow enough, they'll cover the pots.
If you're more of a hard-core gardener, you can use old-fashioned soil. This method is more time-intensive, since each replanting will involve digging out old plants and transplanting new ones, taking care not to damage the root systems or limbs. For best results, use store-bought soils, since they're made for the activity.
If you are actually transplanting rather than placing pots into your window box, here are some good tips:
Transplant as soon as possible after purchasing to prevent excessive stress to the plants' systems.
Using your trowel, transplant on a moderately cool day or during the cool early morning or late evening hours when heat is less likely to shock or kill your plants.
Water your plants immediately. This eases the plants' transition.
Plant a movie star.It will surey generate a LOT of attention.
a little nuclear plant
Verbena it blooms all summer and hangs over the edges for a nice show. You can leave it in the box and it will come back next year.
Try Trailing Petunia since they have mixed pastel colours and are drought tolerant and should not be over watered. They last the whole summer through getting bigger and bigger. They are not happy with heavy rain though but soon recover.
Petunias, hydrangeas, or mini roses.
gardenia, but it is hard to take care of

For a Spring window box I love to see miniature daffodils, tulips, irises and hyacinths. For a Summer box I like fuchsias and trailing pelargoniums.
I think, without a doubt, petunias are the best window box plants for display, however, they are half hardy, so they wouldn't survive the winter at this latitude.
A sunny place? Geraniums or petunias or verbena.
A shadey place? Impatiens.
small rose shrubs
