Yes Denise depending on which way your house is facing it can make quite a difference with the seasons, I get no sun on the front of my house now but do in the summer.
If you imagine a clock face then the sun passes over me now in the direction from 5 to the hour to 25 past the hour, where in the summer its quarter to to quarter past, ha ha not a scientist but you get the idea, and remember I live near the equator so its 12 hours daylight all the year round[weather that makes a difference I dont know]. Maybe you could ask a neighbour or see what they have growing, or just wait, your new plants wont come till May and you will know yourself then.

Denise, take a look at Sleeping Beauty. It only needs 1-2 hours of sun.

Thanks Jordan and David. I guess I'll have to check out how the sun pattern out there changes as Spring and Summer approach. John, that's a great suggestion for a shade spot! Thanks. I have never really looked at Sleeping Beauty because I am more drawn to bold or unusual colors. But that one is pretty in its own way.
