Any ideas on container planting? Full sun.

annuals for full sun....Geranium,million bells,Bidens,Cuphea,Sun loving Coleus,,Salvia,Sweet potato vine,Celosia,

I have full sun in 98% of my yard and like to add color into our yard with annuals. I'd suggest a Geranium or two in your container. They come in a variety of different colors- some of the blooms are verigated (they have multiple colors on the blossom), are relatively cheap-I just got 3 of them for $1.75 at Walmart, are hardy and fairly forgiving if you miss a watering, and will continue to bloom throughout the summer. You can snap off the finished blooms to encourage new blossoms. Sun Patients are also a good option. They also come in a variety of pretty colors and the leaves are an interesting purplish green and will also bloom throughout the summer. They can handle hot sun too. Depending on the size of your container you can put both in! For a little "spiller" over the edge add in a sweet potato vine. They come in green or purple. They grow great and add that spill over effect. Hope I'm not overwhelming you with info! Good luck!

Find a large container that has drainage holes. Then fill the bottom 1/3 with something light, like packing peanuts so it doesn't get too heavy to move around. Fill the rest with a POTTING soil mix (preferably one with fertilizer already in it). Next, get 3 different size/type sun-loving plants: a THRILLER (tallest plant - goes in the center), a FILLER (medium sized - surrounds the tall one), and a SPILLER (plants that trail over the sides of the pot). VOILA!

go vertical against your wall(s)! Won't take up valuable floor space yet will give you a lush look. There are many inexpensive ideas for vertical planting on Pinterest....recycled pallets, eaves trough, pvc frame, recycled ladders etc. As you are full sun, you will want to choose drought tolerant plants to go into your planters and I would add couple of diapers (plastic removed, liner shredded) to the soil to assist with moisture retention.

cone flowers are drought tolerant and hummingbird friendly...train a trumpet vine up the supports, bee balm, black eyed Susan, succulants, should minimize watering

Shasta or margiuerite daisies, coneflowers, any full sun annuals like geraniums petunias, wild grasses

Great idea with the succulents! I recently purchased the sedum tiles, so easy to care for it's pathetic, lol! I also love this 3 tier idea I used when I had limited space... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSQiFlfc3k4

Lantanas are new my favorite, easy to grow as a perennial, or annual, in ground, or in container, more importantly, butterflies and hummingbirds love em!

I often put perennials in pots,
