Michelle Jacoby, Changing Spaces You are quite right about the selection of annuals here. Lots of potato vine, hanging geraniums, deep purple petunias.....in the fall....i continued to use the potato vine and just added mums and annual purple fountain grasses.
In fact, this designer included pictures of the same windowbox a with different plant palette, which completely tranformed the look of this home's facade.

Prune annuals and roses. Although this is not the time of year for a hard (severe) pruning, many plants enjoy a bit of a haircut during the long, hot summer. Cascading annuals such as petunias often get leggy and stop blooming, so cut them back by half to promote bushier growth and increase flower production. Roses that are known to be repeat bloomers will also appreciate a light pruning to encourage a fall bloom cycle. Remember to fertilize your roses after pruning and water in thoroughly.
