Reply:Ornamental flowering garlic, marigolds, four o'clocks, lilies, pansies, lantana. There's so many. If you live near a garden center, or Home Depot, they will have a huge selection.
Reply:Lantana would be ideal. You could also try any of the species of ice plants.
Reply:Hibiscus are great in ground or in pots.
I live on the central coast, and my hibiscus bloom 11 months of the year (they like a warm wall/fence, little wind, and moderate water)
With those hibiscus, you can underplant with african daisies (lemon yellow, orange orange, purple, white/blue); it's been my experience that they bloom year-round if you keep them dead headed.
Reply:Marijuana would be great.loan
