Sun Hot
What plants can take afternoon sun and the hot west sun?
My front flowerbed gets direct sunlight all afternoon and gets the hot west sun all evening. I'm looking to find some plants that are low maintenance and can handle that much heat and sunlight. Preferably not your basic shrubs. I tried crotons but the west sun is just too much for them. Any ideas?? Thanks!
I have a flowerbed that's in a "heat sink". It sits against a brick garage wall and is surrounded by pavement. It's like an oven in that flowerbed. Here's what I plant in it (not my own photos):
Lantana. Small shrub-type plant. Annual or perennial, depending on type. Many different colors. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sylvar/133026263/
Moss roses (portulaca). Many different colors. Loves dry, dusty hot weather. http://www.pcmb.net/flowers/images/portulaca.jpg
Gaillardia (Indian Blanket). Oklahoma's State Wildflower. Perennial. http://classes.hortla.wsu.edu/hort232/list9/Gaillardia.html
All of the above require a little watering to get established, but after that you can pretty much ignore them!

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie $1.76 When Alanis Morissette visited Mother India in 1997, she gained new composure and, in a state of numinous bliss, wrote 17 songs for Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, each suffused with the search for enlightenment and self-knowledge.
