Potted plants or flowers for direct sunlight?

I have planted both spider plants and fuschias but neither one can be placed in direct sunlight, or will wilt. I have them on the left side of my porch, but need to place something on the right side of my porch to even things out. Any suggestions? Really could use either plants or flowers as long as they can be potted.

Good Luck!
Reply:Try Geraniums there are great colors, with some type of a trailing flowering plant in front for contrast. I did this in a small whiskey barrel in red, white %26amp; blue. Mandivilla is also good and with different color flowers, and can be brought in when cold weather comes. Another thought is Roses there are some that can be placed in containers, or in the ground.
Reply:alot of plants require full sun just look around at a flower store and read the tags that tell how much sun they need.
Reply:Begonias, petunias, marigolds, geraniums, vinca and dianthis are all good choices. Think of the color scheme you want and go from there!nanny
