Can any one suggest some nice plants/flowers to plant in front of my privacy fence?

I would like to plant some plants/flowers in front of my privacy fence. I am just not sure what would be the best thing to plant. There is very little sun in the morning and a lot of sun in the afternoon. I was thinking of a climbing plant but I don't know anything about those either.

For a climbing plant I would suggest Star Jasmine. It is evergreen and blooms in late spring/early summer and smells heavenly. Or, you could plant Cosmos. They are easy to grow and get fairly tall. If you grow these, it would be a good idea to put in corner stakes and hang netting between to hold the tall plants upright. Plant the seeds fairly thick. They will grow through the netting and hide it and the stakes. They are really airy looking and have large, colorful flowers shaped like daisies. Beautiful. Both of these plants love full sun.

Reply:Personally, I would go with marigolds. The Small ones such as jack in the box or other variegated colors. they bloom all summer and fall and all you really have to do to them is pinch off the dead blooms once or twice a week.

Reply:I like California Poppies in mixed colors. They will even reseed themselves and are drought resistant.
