Luna's Lush Window Box (52cm) Cyclamen, Skimmia , Eyonymus , Hedera Window Planter

Winter is when a window box really earns its keep. The garden goes quiet, the mornings stay dark, and this is the bit of colour you see first, kettle on, still in your dressing gown.
Luna's Lush Window Box is built around a single red cyclamen, bright as a postbox against all that green. Three white-edged trailing ivies soften the front and spill over the edge. Two euonymus, one tall and upright and one with fine, narrow leaves, give the box height and shape, while a skimmia adds a neat dome of glossy evergreen leaves. It's all set in a plain terracotta-toned window box that lets the plants do the talking.
It suits a kitchen windowsill, a balcony rail, the front step or a corner of the courtyard, anywhere you pass every day and could do with a lift. Each one is made to order and planted by hand at Boma in Kentish Town, so it looks full and settled from the start.
