I live in a condo and can't plant a garden, but I do like to hang plants outside over my deck. I'm looking for advice on what flowering plants will do best on a northeastern exposure (early morning sun but shade the rest of the day) in a southern New England climate. I had impatiens last year, and they did really well, but I'd like to see what else is out there. Any ideas?

Hi Stew Face 1
Have you ever heard of a Tahitian Bridal Veil? I think that is the name of it Embarassed It's a beautiful hanging plant with kind of purplish leaves and oodles of tiny white flowers Razz

Look for Verbenas, Begonias, Fushias, Ivy Geraniums, just to name a few. I know you said "flowering" but some of the fern baskets they have out there are alot of bang for your buck too.
