What do put in your window boxes for winter interest?

I took advantage of the nice weather we're having and decorated my front window box so it won't be empty during the winter. I usually just put evergreens in there for the holidays and they stay green for several months. Thought I'd do something different this year and added sedum, grasses, Ivy and a couple dried hydranga. I don't know how long that other stuff will last, but hopefully I can add more evergreens if need be. DD suggested I spray it with Wilt-Pruf to help it keep from drying out too much. It looks nice looking out from the inside too. Something green to look at during the winter.

What do you do with your boxes for winter interest?

Wow! So pretty. You would laugh at mine, plastic fern and fake flowers. Very carefree LOL

That's really pretty. I usually just put in fake flowers. Fake mums at Thanksgiving. At Christmas I put in pointsettias, then I put in fake tulips at Easter and so on.
Kind of hard to see the pointsettias in this picture as they are covered with snow after a storm. Brrrr, a glimpse of things to come.

My first thought was to get some fake greens, but they aren't cheap and I would have needed too many. Other years I started too late and the soil was already frozen in the boxes. I had to use landscape fabric pins to hold the branches in place along with freezing fingers. The grasses and hydrangas will probably fall apart when the weather turns, but the greens will keep. I'll be out there again with freezing fingers filling in the bare spots.

I know it's [winter] coming soon, I just hope we don't get all the ice storms this year. Our driveway was a skating rink last year for weeks and weeks. That's when I wished we lived in town.

Oh Diana, and just when I thought I wanted to move north. I think it was the part about the freezing fingers and the ice skating rink in your driveway. Florida is not looking so bad after all. LOL

Thought about moving to Florida many times, even checked out some properties there. We have family in Jacksonville. I'm afraid our feet are stuck up here, elderly mother, daughter, and an old horse that would never survive the move. Can't leave him behind, he's part of the family. Maybe someday.

Funny, are we ever happy where we are? The summers are so hot here, and that's when I think about moving North. Right now I have the back door open listening to the birds sing. Gee, if I win the lottery I could have a place up North for the summer and I could winter in Florida. Hmm..... the only problem is , I don' play. Darn the bad luck. LOL
