What flowers have you tried? Are there drainage holes in the planter?
I tend to mix perennials and annuals in my front containers where I get the afternoon sun. What I have had the best luck with in a mix of bougainvillea, purslane, and ivy. Since the bougainvillea and purslane love the sun and not a lot of water I tend to water every 2-3 days mainly around the ivy (my planter is shallow). If you water too much the leaves of the bougainvillea will fall off. Your planter has to be well drained. The purslane is a succulent similar to portulaca with pretty pink, yellow, or coral flowers, and often used in flower beds. I have to say that I am a novice and know there are others with more expert advice, but this is what worked for me living in the south with high humidity. Hope this helps.
