Winter Window Boxes and Planters

~:: Donuts, Dirt and Dresses ::~

Winter is often a sad time of year for containers and window boxes. Sure, spring overflows with pansies and bulbs, followed by colorful annuals all summer long. Even fall gets its due, with grasses, ornamental peppers and cabbages.  Unfortunately, most winter window boxes are a depressing sight – filled with nothing more than potting mix and some dead leaves.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are numerous plants that offer a variety of colors, shapes and textures all winter long.
