I have a low-growing euonymous (I think it must be this one: ‘Emerald Gaiety’ is a low-growing ground cover (1 to 2 feet high) and has green leaves with white margins.) it is in a very sunny area, I have to clip it alot because it grows out, but it is about 1 foot tall.
INVASIVE! Please don't plant:

Gold mops and barberries might work. Second the eueonymous rec. also gumpo azaleas and hollies could be good options.

Rosemary don't really like our humid climate and some aren't hardy. If you decide to go this route, Arp is a good variety.
Do you want deciduous or evergreen shrubs? Heather does nicely, but does like an acid soil. If your lavender is thriving there, the soil might not be acidic enough. Scotch brooms are graceful. Potentillas are nice as well.

I'm trying to think of some things besides lavender to plant in a very sunny, hot area of our garden. I don't want perennials because I don't want to have to mess with dividing them when they start to outgrow their spot. Thanks!
