What Plants Are Good for Direct Sun Then Partial Sun During the Day

Question

What plants are good for balcony gardens when the sunlight changes during the day? I get full sun and then partial sun. I want color but I also want to add color, which plants are good for me? I live in Cincinnati,  OH and the weather is always changing. I need plants and flowers that will withstand the changing weather we have. Please help. I want to try Boston ferns to hang outside, but afraid they would burn. Would that be true?

Answer 1

Boston ferns probably not all that good for that, but almost any full sun plant at your local nursery will do well. Since you want color, I would recommend using annuals. Petunias, Celosia, cosmos, dahlias, snap dragons and other full sun annuals will do very well for you.
