Suggestions for window boxes - not mums!

sandra_christie
16 years ago

I have lots of window boxes which looked great up until recently, but my petunias have completely died out. I thought they loved hot weather, but these are completely gone. Must not have watered enough. Any ideas what I can pop in there to replace them to add some color until frost? What do you have going in window boxes that are still looking good?
