I have 2 large flower pots on my front porch. I need some flowers that do well in hot full afternoon sun.
What are some annual flowers I can plant in full sun?
I agree - petunas, begonias, geraniums, lantana. A good tip for pots is this. You need 3 types of flowers in each pot. A trailing plants(creeping jenny, ivy, wave petuna, sweet potato vine)a mounding plant like begonia, regular petunas or marigolds, and a taller spikey plant - geranium etc. That way you pots have some flowers hanging over the side, some mounded and some sticking up. Make sure everything you plant in one pot is all "sun" or all "shade" plants. One other tip is to put a diaper in the bottom of the pot. The diaper absorbs water and releases it a little at a time.
Reply:I agree with the Petunia,geranium,marigold,vinca and the rest except for Pansies...They really like it a little cooler...What's great about pansies however is that you can
plant them earlier in the spring and late in the fall as they will tolerate frost and coooler temps..Snapdragons are another good plant and if you let them go to seed...new plants will emerge next spring..
Reply:Petunias love the sun and are beautiful. Marigolds are also sun lovers but both still need water.
Reply:Geraniums do great in full sun. You'll get lots of color all summer long.
You might want to try some Vinca vine to help fill in the flower pot around the edges.
Reply:Sunflowers! Not kidding.
Reply:pansys
geraniums
Reply:Begona (Begonia X Semperflorens) No Wonder they call me a plant nerd at school. Any ways they have waxy leaves and have a great foliage color assortment.
