Here is another plant that is doing well in these drought conditions. I bought 5 or so plants a couple of months ago and planted them 2 beds in the Rose Garden. They are doing much better than just hanging on, they are thriving. They are very much loved by the big bumblebees. The down side of this plant is that the flowers close up around noon, much like morning glories. It will re-seed, but I don't find it to be a strong re-seeder. It is perennial in zones 9 and higher, but here in zone 8 it always dies in the winter. There is a deep yellow flowering variety as well that I have grown in the past, but I like the pale yellow with the darker yellow center and the brown eye a bit more that the yellow.
