Autumn Sedum. Maybe even a dwarf rose.

The spot is too small for a shrub.

Spring bulbs like daffodil and crocus planted with some daylillies and sedum (Autumn Joy or similar). Color from spring to fall, and all plants are tough as nails.

This-great in this area. If the area is fully contained, try out colorful/exotic types of mint.

Came here to say Lantana as well. They do great in full sun. And spread quickly.

Thank you all! To the PP who asked, it’s in full sun, south facing.

Some green would be nice, I guess, when flowering has ended.

Hi all, gardening newbie here! We moved to a new home last fall and I just tackled a crazy woody weed that had taken over a small patch next to my driveway. I would love some suggestions on what to plant in this newly reclaimed spot! It's about 2'x3', in full sun, south facing. My preference would be for something low to the ground that fills space nicely and also has small flowers to add some color. I have to water it with a hose, so something that doesn't need too much watering would be great.
Thanks in advance!
