I know that opinions vary, but what's your opinion?!I have great luck w Rosemary plants. Green all year long.
Geraniums - great color, easy to grow, drought tolerent, will live in poor soil, take a beating from pets and thrive in blazing hot summer sun. Great starting plant. Star Jasmine is another one. If you want annuals, snapdragons, marigolds, mums and vincas . . . And don't forget roses - in your zone easy to care for. The pink rose on the right was a $5.99 Home Depot Special and is the most prolific. I have roses in every room during the summer.
Try the basic annuals that are a little less maintenance,Million bells,Lantana,Angelonia.Dusty miller is a great contrast against colors,Verbena,accents as Dracaena spike and sweet potato vines.
It really it not hard once you get the basics. Just remember no matter how much you know or do not know gardening is always an experiment no matter what others say.
We have good success with Lantana, roses, Mexican Bird of Paradise, red yucca,
honeysuckle, Star Jasmine, geraniums, and my favorite...any succulent or cactus. There are so many varieties and add beautiful contrast and texture.
