Looking for spring and summer window box planter ideas? For this year, down the road, or next year? Be inspired here with these gorgeous spring and summer window boxes that will stop you in your tracks. Window boxes and planters add huge amounts of charm, personality and curb side appeal to a home.
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.

Adding cool weather flowers for spring window boxes such as pansies, daffodils, hyacinths can be swapped out later for summer flowers that tolerate more heat.
Beautiful spring blooms!
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.

A stunning window box filled with white wave petunias, sweet potato vines, creeping Jenny, Bacopa, and Angel Wings in the center.
A variety of sun loving succulents, using the thriller, spiller and filler planting idea. Love the variations of purple, pink, yellow, rust color, and green succulents. Other sun loving plants and flowers great for window boxes: petunias, million bells, zinnias, portulaca, daisies, lavender, euphorbia, and I’m sure you can think of others.

Ferns add a dramatic impact to a window box. Other plants that do well in shade are Ivy, Creeping Jenny, hostas, coleus and caladium.
The caladium (elephant ear) with the pale pink impatiens and ivy makes a nice combination.
Some succulents like direct sun, while others do not. An important note to remember: Figure out how much sun your window box planter will get before buying your plants. That way, you’ll know what kind of plants to get.
Fuschia impatiens with trailing dichondra do best in shade.
