Lantana flowers up nicely and I live in Texas where it is always hot.
I live in Las Vegas with a west exposure on the front of my house. Because of the extreme summer sun/temps (116 this week!) I have started gardening in pots. When the summer comes on like a furnace, I move my pots to the east side of my home so they only get morning sun. I also run drip hoses all through the plants and attach it to a timer so they are watered daily without any dry out period. Right now, the east side of my house looks like a jungle.The only plants I have in the ground on the blazing hot west side that flower well are Oleanders, Texas Privet and lantana. Believe it or not....Roses grow beautifully in Las Vegas.
I live in the desert of southern California and it's currently 112 degrees this week in our area. I have several bougainvillea plants that always flower and hibiscus plants as well. Lantana is a great flowering groundcover. Daylilys is a flower which also does well in partial shaded areas or any desert type plant should do well. Just make sure they're on a regular watering schedule.
Lantana,creeping sedum,hens and chicks,portulaca
Marigolds, lantanas, verbena do great in heat
Succulents do well in dry heat and most of them flower also
Gazanias or portulaca do well in extreme heat. they both have beautiful flowers
I live in the Phoenix area and about the only thing I can grow in the summer with color (in pots anyway) is portulaca. My vinca and gazania have all become crispy.
