Seasonal Annual Plantings for Lakefront Pots & Window Boxes

To enhance a lakefront home with seasonal color through annual plantings that complemented the surrounding landscape and remained easy to maintain.

Wind exposure and fluctuating lakefront conditions. Containers requiring frequent watering. Desire for a cohesive look across multiple pots and window boxes.

I designed coordinated annual plantings using resilient, sun-tolerant plants arranged with a balance of focal, filler, and trailing species. Plant selections emphasized durability, texture, and color harmony while keeping care requirements realistic.

The finished pots and window boxes provided vibrant color and movement throughout the season, enhancing the home's connection to the lake while remaining manageable for the homeowner.
