A Few Pics of the Front Yard & Green and White Window Boxes
We've enjoyed watching our front yard since the big makeover a couple of years ago. This year it looks like everything has almost doubled in size and the hydrangeas are full of blooms just waiting to pop.

The other day I shared our window box strategy on an instagram story. You know I love green and white gardens so I stuck with that for the window boxes as well.
This year I used new guinea impatiens, white impatiens, helichrysum, and diamond frost euphorbia. In other words a thriller (new guinea), a spiller (helichrysum), and a filler (euphorbia & impatiens) - the recipe for a successful window box. Tip: use good potting soil and be generous with osmocote.
In addition to green and white and a variety of heights, I try to make sure there's a good mix of textures. The new guineas have rich green leathery leaves and the diamond frost is more stick-like (for now) with small leaves and flowers.
The helichrysum is soft and silvery similar to lamb's ear. It will spill over the front and spread from side to side.

We bought our window boxes years ago when Smith and Hawken was a store and not part of Target. They have held up really well and I love how the copper has aged over the years. You can find similar ones here. I'll post more pictures once everything fills in in a couple of weeks.
I switched out the arborvitae that were in the urns for palms...
