Which plant can survive direct sunlight?
Black-eyed susans, for example, are one of the easiest full-sun flowers you can grow because they can thrive in just about any well-draining soil type and are fairly drought-resistant. Colorful zinnias are another flower that is easiest to grow in full sun for similar reasons as the black-eyed susans. When you’re looking for full sun flowers for pots, consider summer snapdragons, lantana, mandevilla vines and portulaca. This planter of full sun flowers includes ‘akila lavender shades’ osteospermums (also known as african or cape daisies), ‘cool wave frost’ spreading pansies and ‘clear crystal’ white alyssum.
What plants are good in all day sun?
If you’re looking for perennials, either Stella D’Or Lillies, Bee Balm or Phlox depending upon how tall you want them to grow. They will spread but slowly. Annuals like Geraniums, Sunshine Impatiens and Zinnias would do well in full sun. Sun loving coleus and bronze leafed wax begonias may work. Just keep the soil moist. Purple Heart (Setcreasea purpurea), pentas, and four o’clocks are other annuals to consider. For perennials try dwarf Mexican petunia (Ruellia), lilyturf, daylilies, and speedwell (Veronica).
