Hi
I need suggestions for my windowboxes ...they are facing south. .. but
shaded by the eaves. I want them to be fuller. I do use the container soil
and slow release fertiliser ( maybe not enough). I water every 2 days as
they have a reservoir in the bottom.
Zinnias did well. Petunias were leggie, lobelia and alyssum died

Nasturtiums are one of my favorites.

As Roger Swain says, use thrillers (upright), fillers and spillers
(hanging). As V said, try to stick with plants that can take the
heat, cool season early annuals aren't always the best.
