Excerpt from the article:

"Window boxes are typically planted with annuals, but there's no reason not to employ the cost-cutting perennial strategy here, too. "My wife has had the same ivy plant in one of our flower boxes for years," notes Flower Framers of Cincinnati owner John Simpkinson. 

In fact many of the same favorites you plant in the ground can be added to a windowbox.  Threadleaf coreopsis and calamint blend well together and have the same water requirements.  The purple ice plant provides impact in a sunny spot; ass the Serbian bellflower (campanula) for it's blue velvet blooms and trailing stems. For shadier spots, plant Lenten rose hellebore, pink bergerenia or even a patch of creeping Jenny.
