In fact, I had 2 pots last year on my back patio. One was in the bright sun all day---and the geranium plant was huge. The other got part sun/part shade---and the plant was small and didn't bloom much. This year, I put both pots of geraniums in the sun. And Casey, in case you didn't know, impatiens require a lot of water during the hot summer months. (They will wilt in the afternoon if not watered.) On the other hand, geraniums don't like to be wet. Only water them occasionally. Wait until the ground is very dry, soak them thoroughly, and leave them alone. If you water them too often, they will look sick! I love them because they actually do better with neglect. (The only thing they require is cutting off the dead blooms. That makes them bloom even more.) Good luck!
