Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Potted plants or flowers in direct sunlight?
I have planted both spider plants and fuchsias, but neither one can be placed in direct sunlight. I have them on the left side of my porch, but need something on the right side of my porch to even things out. Any suggestions?
Answer
Petunias love the sun and are so easy to take care of. They are colorful and easy to take of care. Allyssum is another great flower for flower pots or boxes.
