One of the world's best interior designers, Jimmy Sellars, mixed these colors. Unfortunately he doesn't give out his secrets.

Amy Renea added this to Window Boxes Captivate on the Curb
When planting a window box, consider planting vining or trailing plants. Softening the edges of the box and the straight lines of your home, these plants work double duty. They can also act as a bridge between the home and garden. Notice how these plants seem to be reaching toward the garden beds, creating a fully integrated look between the two.

Boxwood or Box(Buxus spp)Boxwood hedging has always been the traditional plant used in dwarf hedging, and though it has its drawbacks, it is still the best general-purpose plant for this type of hedging. Boxwood can be prone to the fungal disease Cylindrocladium buxicola, or box blight. This is prevalent in the U.K. and spreading in the U.S. USDA zones: 5 to 9 (find your zone)Water requirement: Drought resistant; requires well-drained soilLight requirement: Prefers partial or full shade; can be scorched by sunMature size: 18 to 36 inches tallPlanting tips: Plant in well-drained soil. Boxwood benefits from an application of fertilizer and a mulch after clipping in spring.Good alternatives to box are Japanese holly (Ilex crenata) and box honeysuckle (Lonicera nitida).Hire a good gardener to keep your hedges low
