What kind of light would you consider this?
I have had the hardest time finding plants for the front of my house. In the morning, the area gets some morning sun. During noon-mid afternoon it is in the shade. In the late afternoon as the sun is setting, the area gets hard, hot summer sun. Camellias seem to do OK there as do daylilies,mexican heather, impatients did OK on one side of the bed (the side not getting as much sun) but died on the other side. I am about to throw in the towel and hire someone to come in and figure it out for me. It's like it's too much light for shade only plants, but not enough sun for sun-loving plants. What would you call this light, and can you recommend some plants (I need something with height for the back- probably a bush) and something that is going to bring color and interest to the front of my house.
Re: What kind of light would you consider this?
Along those lines, you have a good point: I have have outstanding perfomance from plumbago (Ceratostigma) as far as never having to water it BUT almost no blooms. Same with Eupatorium. If you can deal with NO flowers, Autumn Fern has also been phenomenal in my garden with no irrigation (and it's evergreen). One of my best new plants is Sinningia, but I've only had it for 2 summers now. All of these are in sun conditions like you described.
