As a follow up to the what's worked well and what hasn't thread, I thought I'd post a few pics of some of my stuff that performed the best. I wanted to add a couple of shots of the black and blue salvia that seemed hit or miss for some folks this year. I don't know what I did right, but mine still looks pretty good. If anyone else has recent pics from end of Aug to early Sept, I'll love to see what survived for y'all. August seems to be the killer month for me. If it makes it past that, it's a keeper.

This is black and blue salvia, Jo Barbre yellow daylilies in front, pink buttergly bush behind the salvia and an esperanza, perillas and vitex in the rear of the bed. Once the esperanza and vitex get a little larger, I'm thinking this color and texture combo will look really pretty. All these plants were newly planted, most in May. I'm thrilled with the amount of growth we've had so far. Next year should be nice.
