Snow-in-Summer
When planted alongside plants with deeper green leaves, the silvery-gray foliage of snow in the summer creates a striking color contrast. Late spring and early summer provide white blooms.

This drought-tolerant perennial is popular among gardeners in the colder zones 3-7. This lovely plant prefers full sun, but it may tolerate some mild shade as well.

Damianita daisies
The dark green, needle-like leaves of Damianita become golden yellow as spring approaches. Throughout the summer and into the fall, flowering occurs in intermittent bursts. Damianita, like many drought-tolerant plants, is undemanding and thrives on poor soils without the need for fertilizer.

Trailing Lantana
From spring through fall, trailing lantana has attractive green foliage covered in lovely blooms, making it a must-have for many gardens.  Even though this plant can only be cultivated outdoors year-round in zones 9 and above, it is a popular plant in milder climes where it is regarded as an annual. Trailing lantana thrives in well-drained soil in full sun to moderate shade and is adapted to acidic to alkaline soils.

Lantana plants like full sun, and it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunshine every day to grow. This aids the plant in maintaining and blooming its many blossoms. Although lantana prefers the sun and thrives in it, it does benefit from some afternoon shade.
