Glad to see so many responses to the question. Everyone should take what Pure Harvest said to heart. I worked in a retail operation a few years back... everything Pure Harvest said is spot on, including varieties of flowers.

Also mentioned, was buying cuttings. This year I do plan on buying some plugs. I happen to have 2 wholesale nursery's with in driving distance. For my small operation, its a no brainer.

Cole_Robbie mentioned dwarf sunflowers. My understanding is that sunflowers don't transplant well, so the flower would probably need to be in a larger container. I know that NC plants a metric ton of dwarf sunflowers along the interstate. They do seem to handle the drought pretty well.

For me last year, wave petunias did well. I had them in hanging baskets. Also marigolds. Not sure of the variety but they were an unusual variety.
