Keeping your window box plants after the season is over

Many favourite window box plants- annual lobelia. African and French marigolds (Tagetes) and zinnia, for example - will only live for one year-and should be discarded once they are past their best. The same applies to hardy annuals, such as candytuft. godetia, larkspur and pot marigold (Calendula), often used in pots for- instant effect.

Biennials, such as Canterbury bells and forget-me-nots, are sown in one year to flower the next, and can be bought ready to plant at the end of their first year. Daisies, stocks, sweet williams and wallflowers - all really short-lived perennials - are also best treated as biennials: enjoy their flowers for a year and then dig them out.

Bulbs are the mainstay of most spring window boxes, and a window box of lilies is one of the glories of summer. But once the flowers have finished you are left with unappealing window boxes of foliage. Hardy spring bulbs can last for two or three seasons in the same compost before it needs replacing. And all kinds of lilies will flower successfully in the same window boxes for several

Move the window boxes into an out-of-the-way place and allow the foliage to die down naturally. Cutting leaves off or tying them in knots will stop them from making nutrients for next year's bulbs and will lead to a disappointing display the following spring. lf you have nowhere to relocate the window

boxes, but feel the dying foliage looks untidy you can surround the bulbs with bedding or foliage plants as a disguise.

Keep the compost almost dry in winter and move the bulbs back into the limelight when the new shoots emerge.

Alternatively, you can carefully lift bulbs and their foliage and plant them out in the garden border. Large-flowered hybrid tulips are not worth growing on, even in the garden, for a second season. They may never flower again, and even if they do the flowers will probably be poor. Discard the

bulbs and start again. However, you can plant botanical 'species' forms of tulip and large-flowered hyacinths in the open ground after their first spring.

Half-hardy bulbous plants, such as dahlias and gladioli should be allowed to die down naturally. Then dig out the tubers, clean and dry them thoroughly, and store in vegetable nets or old tights

hung in a cool, frost-free, dark place until replanting time. Label the tubers by colour to help you when replanting.
