Annuals: Best to Grow for Full Sun
Sitting in the sun for the entire day might become quite warm. Some wilt, while some plants adore it. Many perennial flowers with deep tap roots and water-saving leaves can withstand high levels of sunlight, while annuals that are never given the chance to establish a substantial root system frequently struggle. Hence, while choosing annual flowers for the sunny areas of your garden, be selective. Here are some annuals that thrive in full sun and provide happy blooms all summer long, according to landscaping service experts.
Celosia
Since they both belong to the same family, you may have noticed similarities between the blossoms of celosia and amaranth. Given that Celosia argentea’s flower heads resemble blazing flames, the word “celosia” is a Greek word that means “fire.”

The flowers are abundant, despite only being approximately an inch across. The plants blend in well with other flowers and are strong, reaching heights of about 1 to 4 feet.
