I have it growing in the window boxes.
Bacopa! If you have not tried this annual before you must - you will love it!
You have full sun so lots of choices. Tall plants: geraniums, (tall and hanging)petunias (tall or trailing) Million bells and cascade petunias. Lime green sweet potato vine, tapien, temari, many types of verbena all hanging/trailing with various shaped foliage. Pansies. Marigolds. I think the biggest bang for you buck is petunias. They have lovely colour and bloom all summer. Some need dead heading for more blooms. Lobelia trails and blloms well too all summer. Has a feathery look like the verbenas. Have fun. I use container fertilzer on my window boxes. Just follow the info on the box.
I saw yesterday a yard with a grave marker in the front lawn so i stopped to see it. it read" Here lies the last dog that pooped on my lawn" I don't know but it would scare me from letting my dog poop on someone lawn.
