david m asked:
Hello. I have sandy soil, live in Michigan, zone 5. The area I want flowers in is about 6×10. The area gets full sun all day and most sun after 2pm. House faces west, the flowers are to be in the front of the house. What flowers are really easy to start with, and what combinations should I use. Any really good websites anyone knows of could help too.

for sunny areas, Daylillies, Shasta Daisy’s, black eyed Susan’s, autumn joy sedum, Karl foerester grass, stargazer Lillie’s. Bulb plants love Sandy soil, like tulips for spring. perennial geraniums are good. as for annuals, try petunias or marigolds.
