Texas Gardening: What still looks good in your garden?, 1 by crowellli

Not that the worst of the summer heat and bugs are over, I took a brief check on my garden to see what still looked good and what needed replacing. I've had a few surprises in both directions. My salvias, both the Black and Blue, Mystic Spires, and East Friesland have stood up well this year. Did have one bout of mealy bugs that they struggled with, but once those were eliminated, they bounced back. My begonias and Blue Daze have really outdone themselves. The Confederate Rose is in continous bloom and the morning glories and moon flower are still blooming like crazy. My hibiscus all seem to be liking the cooler temps and the plumbagos have gone nonstop since spring. My brugmansia is still blooming. It was slow to start, but hasn't stopped since. The cannas are loaded too as are the Knockout Roses. My only disasters were some pansies that I probably planted too early. Anyone have any ideas on a low growing perennial, preferably evergreen, that doesn't mind sun and damp feet? I'm about to resort to iris because I can't think of anything else to put here. It's a spot on either side of the entry sidewalk and everything I've tried has died from wet feet. Any ideas?

Here's the Mystic Spires
