I live in Michigan, and I always grow cosmos, because their easy to grow.
i have had really good results with marigolds they have different varieties and they love to be in direct sun
This is a popular question right now.
For annuals I would try Moss Rose (Portulaca grandiflora) which is succulent and loves dry sunny sandy locations. Has spectacular flowers too. In favourable locations it will seed itself year after year, although Ohio winters are probably a bit too cold for this to happen reliably. Mesembryanthemum is also a good annual (Livingston Daisy) and very colourful with cool leaves that look as though they’re frost-coated.
For perennials, I would choose Echinacea (Coneflower) which loves sunny locations. It’s quite a hungry plant (feed well) but has great flowers and is very long lived and reliable. You could also try some hardy succulents like Sempervivum (House Leek) which loves dry sandy places, looks cool and has interesting flowers. It’s also tough during winter so will survive in Ohio.
In my full sun yard I have growing the following: iris, sedum, buttercups, lamb’s ear, daylilies, asiatic/oriental lilies, bachelor buttons, shasta daisies, roses; and annuals such as marigolds, petunias, vinca, moss rose, geraniums, celosia, dusty miller. Black-eyed susans are also a good choice.
