About this deal

Hidcote'sviolet goes well with pink roses like Nathalie Nypels, La Rose de Molinard or Souvenir de la Malmaison. In a potager, Hidcote makes a welcome change from Box (Buxus sempervirens) when used as elegant, dark flowered edging for a bed full of herbs, which often have purple flowers themselves. All our lavender plants are measured by their height in centimetres above the soil (the pots aren't measured). Features Begonias are often used for window boxes due to their bright, colorful blooms and versatile size, from compact to trailing. They grow anywhere from 8 inches to 2 feet tall, depending on the cultivar. There are many begonia varieties, such as wax begonias, angel wing begonias, beef steak begonias, tuberous-rooted begonias, and rex begonias.

The ancient Egyptians were also great fans of lavender. Pharaoh Tutankhamen was laid in his tomb with a jar of a lavender perfume by his side. To improvedrainage, it helps to raise the soil level a little by forking in plenty of grit and sharp sand, however, this is not usually practical beyond a small ridge or mound: growing Lavender in a pot is much easier than raising the level of a whole bed!For window boxes and other containers, start with the smallest plants, which come in P9 pots and are a year old. If you plant them outside, do it from the end of May when the soil is nice and warm. They are the cheapest way to start a lavender hedge, but you will have to wait a year or two longer for them to knit together. Because lavender plants can grow to the size of a small shrub, a large pot will allow for this growth. You should shop for containers with 12-16 inch sizes. Lavender is a perennial that thrives in containers and can be kept fresh. It does best in hot, dry climates, but it can be grown in cooler climates with proper care if properly cared for. Lavender plants in pots should be kept in good condition for three months, with eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Lavender, despite its ability to thrive in a cold climate, may not survive outside in the winter. Window Box Plants As a qualified Aromatherapist, I know the healing and calming properties of lavender, having used it myself many times in treatments. It has the ability to relax the mind and calm the nerves.

Busy Lizzies are a popular choice for window boxes due to their vibrant, colorful blooms and shade-loving nature. They are low-maintenance, grow 6-30 inches tall, and do not need much fertilization or pruning, making them a great option for novice gardeners. There are many impatiens varieties, including Bounce Violet, Spreading Shell Pink, and Bounce Pink Flame.Ideally, all your window boxes should have drainage holes in them, but many on the market do not, in which case it's advisable to line the bottom of the window box with gravel, or chips from a broken terracotta pot to prevent water logging in the soil.Or, safely drilling a few holes in the bottom. Finally, choose the window box(es) that suit the look you're going for and your needs too. Window boxes themselves come in a wide variety of finishes, but are typically elongated rather than round, to fit onto windowsills.As a general rule, matching, rectangular-shaped troughs create a more formal look, and oval-shaped troughs or mismatched window boxes gives a more relaxed look.Remember too that DIYing your own is a great way to add character to all types of small space.
