Ice Plant (Delosperma floribundum)
Blooms like crazy in full sun and dry soil from mid-May to frost. The succulent needle-like leaves and fluorescent flowers make this semi-evergreen groundcover a sight to behold.  Colors are clear, bright shades of red, orchid, pink or yellow. The lush, succulent foliage grows only 4-inches tall and spreads up to 2-feet. A

Perfect for hanging baskets and those dry garden patches.

Impatiens (Impatiens walleriana).
Free-blooming plants in shades of red, pink, orange, white, purple and lavender. Blooms spring to frost. Excellent for shady flower beds or planted in containers on covered patios/porches. Flower production may decrease slightly in hot summer temperatures, but if well-watered, will bloom spectacularly in fall. Pinch back occasionally to maintain compact form.
Ornamental Okra "Pacific Red" (Abelmoschus moschatus)
An annual relative of the Hibiscus family. It is a compact, bushy plant growing 14- to 18-inches tall, and about 9-inches wide. From July through frost it is covered with scarlet red blooms. Grows and flowers best in full sun, but tolerates some shade. A Mercer Arboretum plant pick.
