Plants that thrive in hot dry conditions include aloe, prarie grasses, cone flowers, sedum,any succulents with thick waxy leaves, lavender, rosemary, pampas grass, South African origin plants, Mediterranean herbs don't mind being baked...the list is endless. One hint is to go yard snooping to see what your neighbours are growing and also see what is growing wild in your area and source similar from a local plant supplier.
Google your planting zone (https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/) then google plants that do well in that zone.
Contact your state university extension service, or a local botanic garden. Even a local garden center (not a big box) should be able to help.
Try finding a nursery that specializes in native plants.
