Alocasia thrives in heat and high humidity

Arctotis "Flame" - beautiful flowers above silvery-green foliage

Aeonium arboreum

A succulent plant that provides beautiful foliage effects. I saw it in bloom in Spain, with intense coral-red flowers

Lantana camera

Lantanas have a spicy aroma in the foliage that some people don't like, other's like it, and  butterflies are attracted to it.

Brugmansia aurea, with pendulous flowers that are night-fragrant

Centratherum provides a good blue

Coleus 'Dipt in Wine'

There are so many colors in coleus that it never gets boring.

Coleus 'Moonglow'

The dark burgundy-red flowers of Abutilon 'Nabob' are among my favorites

Echeveria glauca fits well into dry scape gardens. Keep it cool and dry in the winter, but frost-free
