| One of my favorites for a full sun location is Angelonia. Wouldn't need many to make a big impression. It's an amazing performer in my blistering western exposure, even in red Alabama clay soil. Very little watering needed. Also love portulaca, and zinnia. |

| Yes to Catharanthus roseus ("vinca ")! Dmoore, so far, these suggestions have been amongst the most carefree of plants....none require deadheading or tons of water. |

| A little bit of Sunflowers, Zinnia's, Snapdragons and some white campanula's. |

Californian poppies (Escholtzia), corncockles (agrostemma githago), Baby Blue Eyes (nemophila - various types), zinnia, calandrina, tidy tips (layia), ursinia, osteospermum, orlaya, calendula. tithonia, sunflowers, flax - either blue or red, omphalodes linifolia, venus's looking glass (legousia), tickseed,
nigella, sweet peas, nasturtium, poppies -opium (somniferum), shirley (P.rhoeas) and ladybird (P.commutatum). just a few I could remember having sown at my allotment - also in full sun. Can all be sown directly in the soil. |

| I agree with rhizo about Angelonia, one of my very favorite plants! Also, add Melampodium to the easy care 'no deadheading required' list. Art |

| Amaranthus as the tallest thing with the sunflowers in back. Beautiful fresh and dried flowers. You can eat tender leaves like spinach, and use the seeds as a grain. Suzi |

| I have been planting annual vinca as my full sun annual choice. It thrives with no care. No deadheading needed. The plants always look healthy and neat into November. |

| I think the best annual is the one that works best for you... i love begonia's but they hate me...petunia's are now becoming my friends.... |
