Low-Maintenance Window Flower Box Ideas for Busy Homeowners
Spring is here and curb appeal is a top priority for many homeowners. Adding flower window boxes to your home is an easy and cost-effective way to enhance curb appeal, but keeping vibrant blooms all year-round can feel overwhelming. For busy homeowners, choosing the right plants and materials can make spring to summer blooms possible.
1. Choose Self-Watering Flower Window Boxes
A flower window box with a built-in self-watering system ensures your plants receive consistent moisture, reducing the need for scheduled watering. This is perfect for those who travel, have a busy schedule or are lacking a green thumb!
Our self-watering flower window boxes are available in a range of durable materials, including fiberglass, fiberstone, PVC, and wrought iron. With the widest selection online, busy homeowners can easily find unique styles to complement their home's exterior.
2. Opt for Drought-Tolerant Plants
Low-maintenance plants like succulents, Russian sage, and ornamental grasses thrive in flower window boxes with minimal care. These hardy plants require less watering while still providing color and texture. To create a fragrant garden, consider planting lavender. This drought-tolerant plant not only thrives in dry conditions but also fills the air with its soothing aroma.
When choosing a flower window box for low maintenance plantings consider adding window box planter box liners. Liners help to prevent water damage to the planter, improves drainage, and extend the lifespan of the window box by reducing direct exposure to soil and moisture. Liners also make plant maintenance easier, allowing for quick soil replacement and better root aeration.
