What flowers look great together and also can handle lots of sun?

The flower bed in the front of my house gets all the afternoon sun. Ever year I plant flowers and they never do good. So what flowers will look good together and will last with the sun?

What flowers look great together and also can handle lots of sun?
Just walk through the plant section and you see the problem all of us have to deal with





Which one will look best here or there





This is the fun of doing it so don't let us take your fun away by telling you what to plant





You will take pride in what you grow when you can tell all





You could say one day I thought I'd try this and just look at them


large Zinnias and they like it hot too.


NICE ain't they

Reply:Make sure to buy plants for the "zone" you live in. Here's a link with that information, as well as plant groupings for different zones, sun, shade, etc. This company has already done the work for you so it's easy! There are taller plants for the back and heights of plants that tier lower toward the front of the flower bed. You'll also be able to see what plants flower and bloom and what plants are just great coloring foliage. Happy gardening!
Reply:Tall Annuals For Sun:


Canna lilies (a tender rhizome) are available with tropical-looking green, deep purple, or variegated foliage and large red, pink, yellow, or orange flowers. They are bold and dramatic especially when combined with dahlias.

I like to use portulaca in spaces like you described. It has many beautiful colored flowers and requires little maintenance. It is drought tolerant and thrives in the sun. I included a link above to give you an idea of what it looks like...It is an annual, but mine reseeds itself and comes back every year.
Reply:blue salvia, alyssum, pink %26amp; white geraniums, pink celosia, cleome, and maybe a blush knock-out rose.





Mulch well - 2 - 3 inches, keeping the roots cool and moist is what helps the top of the plant survive the heat.
