Best flowers for pots in full sun – 8 container gardening favorites that will thrive in a sunny spot

A backyard with a small round garden table with potted flowers on it in the sun

We all know that flowers need sunlight to survive, but, just like us humans, some prefer a brighter spot to others. If there's a space in your backyard that's in full sun, a few potted plants could be just what you need to introduce some color and cheer to your garden, but you'll need to know which are best suited to those conditions if you want them to thrive. 

Container gardening is one of the easiest ways to introduce more greenery to your outdoor spaces. Even for the less green-thumbed, planters and pots offer a great way to add just the right amount of flowers and plants to your backyard no matter the space available. The only catch is, you still need to pay attention to what those plants need.
