Flowers in pots

I am looking for some suggestions for easy to care for flowers planted in pots???  I really know nothing at all about what is good.  Oh, and it would be in full sun almost all day.

    Well, for ME, all of them are pretty easy so I need more info. Do you have any specific criteria to fulfill, besides full sun? Do you want annuals or perennials? How big do you want them? How big is the container? What color do you like?

    I would like it to fill out well.  The pots are not very big I have 2 smaller ones maybe 10 inches and 2 larger ones maybe 18 inches.  I really like any color so that part doesnt matter to me much.  You are right most potted flowers are pretty easy petunias (sp?) I always felt that I had to be out there pulling dead blooms off and also felt that after a point they just did not look good anymore.  Thanks for any suggestions that you might have

    Ageratum, geranium, spikes, pentas, bacopa, petunias, bidens, lantana, and verbena are some of my favorites for sun.

  • I actually did Lavendar in two of my pots for my front porch.  It's nice since it's a perrenial and they fill out really nicely in containers.  It smells great (and calming) and if I wanted to (haven't yet) I may get into drying some for draw saches.
  • My husband gave me calla lilies for valentines and they grew huge quickly with very little attention, just a little bit of water a couple of times a week.
