Reply:There is a new impatient variety that loves full sun. I planted some and they are wonderful ! Also "knockout" roses. They can be pruned to maintain size. Zinnias love lots of sun...don't give them too much water. Many herbs are full sun plants. Basils, sage: many different kinds, I have a pineapple sage that makes a lovely red bloom, oregano, parsely, cilantro, lemon balm, the list goes on and on. Also lemon balm. Cannas love sun!!! Pentas! Hostas love shade as well as most ferns which make a nice filler.
Reply:geraniums and petunias should do o.k. in either. Ivy would do well in part shade.
