Are they getting too much sun? They really do mean it down here--the right plant for the right location. Which direction do your window boxes face?
Drive around the neighborhoods and see what flowers people have planted and where, especially in the afternoon when the sun is at its hottest. There are some lovely flowers planted over on Hillsborough, and also on South-something in Tamarind Grove that runs off of Tamarind Grove Run over by the postal station.
I found our geraniums spaz out in the summer afternoon sun. They face west. Maybe million bells would work well in your boxes.
