My backyard is in full sun all day and I want to plant flowering bushes that will survive direct sun. I live in Ohio, not sure the zone. The beds are irrigated. I love hydrangeas. Would that be too hot for them?

there are sunloving hydrageas , lime light is a sure winner, i am in Ky have 3 that bloom and are great to dry for winter arrangements....other varieties are available , u may need to go to a nursery to find the best for your area, bty i am in zone 6..
forsythias can take full sun and are one of the earliest blooming with a riot of color in the spring. I have also had beautiful lilac bushes in full sun with no problem. good luck!
many viburnum varietieds, some look similar to hydrangeas also lilacs
