Just ordered flower pots for the front of the house...what flowers should go in them?

I know absolutely nothing about flowers. ZIP! Bought these flower pots. What flowers should I put in them that are relatively cheap and low maintenace but colorful? We get some sun but not a ton.

I dont even know what flowers are in the picture. Those look like they might be good?

TIA!

those are impatients in the picture. they are good for partial sun. too much sun and they will wilt. i get those every year and they are really hardy. i usually wait a few more weeks to put them out though. are you looking for something you can plant now? i am thinking of getting some pansies. they are colorful and can go outside now.

Those are pretty! I love an ornamental gras in the middle with some flowers all around.

Here is a pic with ornamental grass in the middle. Also the flowers in the Pic you posted of the pot are new guinea impatiens. They are fuller and have bigger leaves then regular impatiens.
