Without photos , no one can help you.

I suggest NO window boxes on your home. Watering them on the second floor will be a hassle and can lead to water damage and marking of your siding. The box bay style window on the first floor will be awkward to install a window box upon. Below it? Jutting out from it? Instead, I urge you to focus on landscaping to enrich the year round appearance of your home…four seasons, not just summer. Have you thought of a sage green for your siding?

Flower boxes are the worst. I'm an enthusiastic gardener and find them way too much work to constantly water and fertilize, and even so the plants need constant (expensive) replacement to look acceptable, much less good. Messy too.

Yeah, I'm another gardener who says no to window boxes. They look great curated for a professional photo shoot. The rest of the time, they either look lousy or take a lot of work.

I can see a picture before I open the thread but it disappears.

I don’t know why the picture isn’t showing up for some people. It showing for me fine but I’ll add it again here.

@ptreckel I added several new native plants to the beds in the fall. They’re just starting to show now and will add 4 season interest to the beds once they’re established. If the siding was sage green what colors would you recommend for the gutters/trim/shutters/door?

Some visual with sage siding

Thanks for the visual. I don’t think sage is my color. Maybe white or blue?

I love red brick with white siding and black trim.

I like what you have much better than the sage. Pick a color from the brick, so it all blends in a bit more. Whats on there now, and the sage, all show up like additions. I agree, no window boxes. I have had them, and way too much work to keep them looking decent.

Don't know what make of material you're looking at but one of the gemstone colours gives more drama to your house.
