window box plantings: Most successful window boxes contain a mix of these three primary plant types. These are some of our favorites in each category. Thrillers They are your hero plants—the ones that command attention and drive the rest of the design. ‘Katrina’ African iris: Exotic flowers top long, spiked leaves. ‘Sallyfun Deep Ocean’ salvia: Fragrant and a butterfly magnet. ‘Frydek’ Alocasia: Big, emerald green leaves anchor a tropical look. ‘Kong Red’ coleus: Massive, upright leaves; prefers shade. Spillers Trailing over the side of the container, these plants add softness and a little romance. ‘Neon’ pothos: Chartreuse leaves are like rays of sunshine. ‘Blanket White’ petunia: Fast grower with cottage charm. ‘Angelina’ sedum: Foolproof plant with fleshy yellow leaves. ‘Ivy League Deep Pink’ geranium: Flowers spring through summer. Fillers Midsize plants bridge the space between thrillers and spillers. ‘Aaron’ caladium: White-center leaves look bright and fresh. ‘Pink Splash’ polka dot plant: Foliage as impactful as any flower. ‘Mango Tango’ agastache: Peach-color flowers go with everything. ‘Impreza Violet’ impatiens: Tidy mounds of long-blooming flowers.
