We're on round two of stuff we planted not making it, due to either the long freezes or it being hotter than satan's ass crack out there.
Red yuccas got smoked by the freeze (my bad for not protecting better).
This spring the wife brought in a friend who does landscaping, etc.
We have a southern facing front of the house, and the flower bed area gets blasted with full sun until about 7PM during the summer.
We had the following planted on friend's recommendation. All are struggling massively or outright dead and got pulled this morning:
Dead: celosias, lantana, pentas, cora vinca
Struggling bad: bromeliads
What can we plant that can handle this heat, be colorful and attractive now, and that have a reasonable chance of making it through winter if I cover and protect?
TIA.
