[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you like hydrangeas, OP? They do well here. Don't know if they grow in CA, but I love peonies and lilacs, as well as hydrangeas. Feed them your coffee grounds and they will stay blue. Mine bloom all summer. They dry out in the heat, so you need to give them some shade. I bought some table top ones in cute pots from Costco that were blooming in the winter and later, after the blooms had faded, planted them in my garden. They bloomed the next year and are doing fine.

I second the hydrangeas (but I put sulfur on those that are genetically designed to go blue). I don't think I could kill them off if I wanted to.  Another lovely plant that takes a lot of time to colonize but is gorgeous when it catches on is lily-of-the-valley.  Mine are going gang-busters this year.

Another plant that I love year and that blooms all summer long are carpet roses and double knock-out roses.  Plant in full sun and follow instructions about digging a big whole and enriching the soil.  They are terrific![/quote]
