Need gardening tips for 3×10' area below my front window.?
My house is a gray ranch with white trim and burgundy shutters. My front window is a bay window, about 10' long and 5' high. What kind of perennials can I plant to make the area look inviting? I used to plant annuals every year but I would like something more permanent. They should not be more than 2-1/2 feet high. I like hot pinks, purples, yellows, and white flowers.
First I'd plant bulbs. Tulips, etc come in yellow. That will give you color in the spring.
Find a perennial that blooms for each season if possible.
Make sure you get plants that will do well in the shade/sun etc - whichever that area is.
Lowes usually has people that can be quite knowledgeable in which plants work best.
Oh - and don't use mulch. Roaches love mulch. Get something else - ask for suggestions especially if you do plant bulbs. You don't want to plant bulbs if you use rocks for example.
I have a bay window. right below it is the only spot we had to place the air conditioner. so outside, on either side of the a/c, I planted rose bushes. looks very nice when in bloom
