Best Draping Flowers for Wrought Iron Window Boxes

Perennials vs. Annuals

Flowering perennials look awful in winter (dormant) and bloom briefly. Annuals bloom all summer, stay sized right, offer huge color range.

Recommended Mix

• Alyssum (white, sweet scent)
• Lobelia (blue/purple trailing)
• Calibrachoa / Million Bells (prolific, colorful)
• Swedish ivy (foliage trailer)

Maintenance

• Water and deadhead daily.
• Winter: holiday décor, then replant spring.
• Realistic expectation: magazine boxes don't look perfect year-round.
