Q.Fan flower
I am in need of a flower for a planter that faces east on my covered porch. The planter gets the sun until noon or maybe a little later..I have been planting impatients there for a number of years and now the disease they get keeps me from enjoying them any longer..would a fan flower do well there?

Fan Flower would likely work in this application.
