One of my faves here in Sugar Land (suburban Houston, Zone 9) is Rock Rose (Pavonia lasiopetala) This lovely, graceful plant blooms from early spring to frost. Its raspberry pink blossoms close in late afternoon, but they greet you in the morning and throughout the day, nodding their heads in the slightest breeze. Rock Rose is easy to propagate, and you may find volunteers where the seeds have fallen. A second choice would be almost any of the cupheas. Submitted by EFrank Zones: 8 - 11 Colors: Rose pink Height: 2 - 3' Width: 2 - 3' Bloom Period: Late Spring through Early Fall Exposure: Full Sun / Partial Shade Notes: Drought tolerant and deer resistant. Careful though; it self-seeds freely.
