Plants for a *really* sunny windowbox
Hi everyone
Not quite a first-time poster but almost, I hope someone can give me some advice. Our house (London, patio garden only so everything in containers) faces south. I would like to put some window boxes on our front windowsills, they get sun all day (when it's out) and are protected from the rain by the overhang of the window frame above so are generally pretty dry. I was thinking one rectangular window box and a couple of pots. Any suggestions for some attractive, smart-looking plants which like these kind of conditions? I try to look after the plants as much as possible but I work long hours so ideally need something which can stand to be neglected and not watered for a few days (even in summer) and which won't look too straggly in the winter (when I get home well after dark and never even see the garden!) I did wonder about a lavender bush by the front door itself, in the hope we'll enjoy the smell as we walk back and forth. These seem to cope well in hot dry conditions, any other recommendations? Thanks for any help Ellie |
