What flowers to plant?

I hope that someone can give me an advice on what flowers to plant this year... My balcony gets sunshine all day long, and I have not been very lucky with my choices of plants. I live in northern Virginia, and it gets really hot and humid in the summer... Any suggestions? The only type that has survived so far have been geraniums, just to give you an idea.



Thank you so much!!

Put dusty millers in with your geraniums they are pretty but don't bloom. Gazonias are pretty and easy to grow as well as Gerber daisies. And in my opinion vines are always nice on a balcony. Maybe some Tidal wave petunias and Sweet potato vine or Vinca vine. Go to the Burgess seed co. site and get ideas there. good luck and happy planting.
Reply:Ahah! Something I can help you with. Unless you want a tree don't plant the flowering tobacco plant. Jasmine will grow well under controlled conditions. Do you like fragrant flowers? Two I recommend for your area are Lavender and Liatris. Catmint and Phlox are both good summer perennials, and Angel's Trumpets, Snapdragons, Sweet Pea, Cosmos and Lilies are good annuals and bulbs to plant for the summer as well.
Reply:I did a search on Breck's Plant Finder for full sun, container plants in zone 6 to give you an idea of some of the plants you might consider. Here are the results:

Reply:I have good luck with Zinnia's Petunia's, Forget-Me-Not's, and Mum's. I have to water them all a lot (that's all I do) but get good luck with them all.
Reply:Try daises. They're really pretty, and what I like to call "durable".
Reply:go to the stores that sell plants to make your selections they can gtive you better advice and most of the plants at the store they have a little plastic tag sticking in side the pot that tells you the name of the plants and how to care for them.

Reply:You already have got some good suggestions. One other plant I love that grows well in Virginia is dwarf flowering tobacco (Nicotiana). It has the most wonderful scent in the evenings.
Reply:I'm not exactly sure what would be the best to plant in your box, but I would suggest that visit your local garden store, home depot or Lowes and maybe someone in their garden department may be able to guide you better.
Reply:Try some marrigolds they survive the sun good. And you can save seeds every year so you never have to buy them again.
