Every year, I plant the twelve planters on both sides of my deck stairs in Fourth of July themed colors – red and white geraniums and blue lobelia. With regular watering and fertilizer, these bloom from May to September, and are at their peak to help us celebrate Independence Day!

What are the smaller white flowers?

They’re sweet alyssum – they bloom throughout the summer, and they smell heavenly!

What are the blue flowers?

Lobelia 🙂

Is it one of each kind of plant or are there multiples of the lobelia and sweet alyssum?

I bought the lobelia and alyssum in six-pack trays – I used one lobelia on each end, and one alyssum in the middle.

Can these grow in full sun?

Absolutely – in fact, they will do best in full sun (as long as you keep them well-watered 🙂
