it's pretty obvious they get more sun facing that way. Every other day or so I rotate ALL my pots, including the huge ones on my front porch. It evens out the growth better and gives a fuller appearance. I also cut my petunias by about half 4 or 5 weeks into the growing season to promote fuller growth. We have a long growing season here so I can do this every few weeks.
Thanks everyone! I thought so too, how much sun do they need? (how many hours)
No less than 6 hours of sunlight. I noticed that the plant to the right of it is a shade lover (can't recall the name of it) and is doing very well, so that petunia will never have a chance to flourish in that location.

Where I live is hard to get a full all-day of sunshine. I have a forest in my back yard, a forest to the right and large trees in the front. I get about 5 hours total of direct sunlight a day.
I guess next year partial shade/partial sun plants and flowers...
Can you recommend those plants and flowers that do well in both?
hostas, heuchera, mother in law tongue, ferns, azaleas, hydrangeas...lord the list goes on and on. try google for your zone.and container plants.
