I have a spot on the north side of my house that gets sun until about 2 pm. SW MO, zone 6. Need someone that gets pretty large, with dark green or blue colored leaves. Any ideas? I did see Big Daddy for sale locally, but don't know if that will take any sun? I also have Coast to Coast, will that take sun til abaout 1-2 pm? I may have to move some things around to make the color work since the one next to it is yellowish. This spot is on a corner area so it gets more sun than the rest of the row.

Maybe try Humpback Whale, Chief Sitting Bull or Sum and Substance.

Big Daddy may work for me then and I think I can get that locally, thank you!
I do have the other two, but they are already planted, so I need to find a different one. I planted First Dance in this spot but it is starting to burn, did not realize it gets that much sun when I put it in.

I have Big Daddy and he gets morning sun and seems to do okay.

Here's a list of some that are sun tolerant:

I have Irish Luck in full sun until mid afternoon. It does get some burn on the leaves late in the summer. I've seen it listed as a medium but mine gets bigger than that.
When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.
