I'm looking for some bright and colorful flowers to put on my front porch.?

The flowers would only get about 3 hours of evening sun. Is that considered full or partial shade? I love geraniums, but I don't think that spot gets enough sunlight for them. What would you recommend?



Thank you.

You can try geraniums, they don't mind part shade conditions. Any shade plants would do good too. Remember that with perrenials you wouldn't have to overwinter your pots or buy new ones next year as they would come back depending on which zone you live in. It is hard to recommend types without knowing your zone. Do you know it?
Reply:Impatiens or pansies are hearty and can grow in pots overflowing- for as long as you want. They are cheap and you can replant every year with a different color.
Reply:Marigolds and zinnias? They would have lots of color and I know they don't like to fry in the sun.
