Start by cutting down your foam so it fits securely inside the window box. You want a snug fit so nothing wiggles when you start inserting stems.

Optional: Glue the foam down or use wood skewers to anchor if placing in windy areas.

If you’re planning to reuse the container for another season, don’t glue your foam. That way, it’s easy to swap out the arrangement for fall or Christmas.

Start with your large pointed greenery (PF1673). Place one piece in each corner and a couple across the back.

Add in your fern bush throughout the center and front edges to create a full, lush base.

Angle your greenery outward at the edges and let it spill slightly over the front for a more natural, garden-like look.

Insert your yellow floral bush first. These go in the center and mid-section of the arrangement. Vary the height slightly, but keep them around 10–12” tall.

Fan them out slightly to brighten up the core of the design.

Use your red floral bush to add pops of vibrant color. Tuck a few toward the back and some peeking out through the ferns in front.

These should be slightly lower than the yellow blooms—around 8–10” tall.

Keep your colors balanced—don’t cluster all the red in one area. Think of it like adding visual seasoning.

Step back and look at your arrangement from eye level.

Fill any holes with extra fern or greenery clippings.

You want the planter to look full from all angles, especially if it’ll be seen from the sidewalk or street.
