Window box planter idea formula

You’ll notice that the container gardens with flowers in the photos use the common idea of using a thriller, spiller and filler planting formula. This is a way to describe the types of plants to put together in window boxes or containers to create a beautiful, full, lush look.

A thriller plant creates height in your arrangement, a spiller plant will naturally drape over the sides of the container or window box, and filler plants are medium sized plants to fill in the spaces around and between the spiller and thriller plants.

A lush box filled with only white accents with variegated foliage is simple, graceful and beautiful. I love the look with these white impatiens, caladium, dracaena spike in the center and trailing vinca vines.
