Million Bells and Pink Splash Plant

16 years ago

I just bought a nice hanging basket on sale for $2.99... It has purple petunias, yellow million bells and a pink splash plant. The lady at the store said that they all work well together and require the same amounts of full sun, but when I looked them up on line, I read that the splash plant prefers partial sun.

Is the garden lady right and the splash plant will be ok, or should I replant it in a more shady place??

I would hate to kill it...

Thanks in advance!
