What flowering annuals can take full sun?
— Mary Ann Kaletta, St. Louis A: You are in luck, because most annuals prefer full-sun conditions. The range is very large, and includes familiar old favorites such as petunias, marigolds, zinnias, calendulas and nasturtiums, but also a host of new, unusual introductions, such as angelonia, miniature cleome and diascia. Q: What is the Myerlemon plant? How tall does it get and how easy is it to grow? —Donna Myers, Houston A: Correctly Meyer (or Meyer’s) lemon. A compact, slow-growing lemon hybrid suitable for pot culture, bearing fragrant white flowers in spring-summer followed by large, very flavorful lemons in winter. Hardy only to about 37 degrees, it requires indoor protection in most climates, where it does best in a cool, sunny windowsill. Keep soil moderately moist to avoid fruit drop. Tip: Meyer lemons are prized for fragrance, which is strongest when sliced not more than 15 minutes before serving. Q: We have an area in our yard that is 98% shade. It may get very late afternoon
