Hawkerii Impatiens, Bronze Moneywart, Pineapple Splash Coleus, Angelonia and Dracena with Autumnale Fuchsia in front.
The leaves on the hawkerii variety are as interesting as the flowers.
Pineapple Splash Coleus
I love Redhead Coleus in the turquoise pots!
The concrete planters in front have the bronze sweet potato, much more controlled than the original Marguerite. Citrus Supertunia has filled in beautifully (no deadheading required) with orange New Guinea impatiens, heat resistant lobelia and Diamond Frost Euphorbia.
Orange and Saffron Yellow Calibrachoa (million bells) dominate this planter with orange and yellow Gerber daisies and bronze carex grass.

I wintered over the agave cactus and purchased new purslane and crotons for the south side containers.
Container plantings are tricky because you usually don't know until the middle of the season if they are going to work. There are already some plants I would not use again but we'll talk about this later.
