Not much colorful is blooming in our yard in the late summer. The Hydrangea panniculata is about done. We bought some portulaca in hanging pots which are blooming profusely, giving us some welcome color in the dry and hot August. . . .

More on portulaca.
Annie noted that there is a large flowered portulaca (purslane relative), which is actually quite attractive.
Paghat recently posted on it too. Around here, it would be an annual and I remember it was used quite a lot when large beds of annuals planted in sweeping blocks of colour(geraniums, petunias, dusty miller, etc.) were really popular -- back in the '70s? Now it seems public gardens have lots of daylilies and that grass -- Feather reed grass,
Calamagrostis aucutiflora 'Karl Foerster' . . . .

If you're looking for plants well suited to your area, one frequent piece of advice is to "grow native." Here's another tip- why not "grow what a native grows?"
Neighbors can be a great resource, especially if you're new to a climate like me. I was admiring my neighbor's backyard earlier this summer, and she raved about the "Moss Rose", or
Portulaca grandiflora.

portulaca grandifloras only open their flowers before noon, then close them back up again. even earlier in intense heat as we have been experiencing lately. i did not get out yesterday before noon. . .
