What's growing in your garden?

I have a huge area in my front yard that gets full sun most or all day. Plus, it gets hot here, so we wanted drought-tolerant plants. And, I'm an amateur gardener, so I wanted plants that were easy to care for; all I do is pull weeds and clip or pull off dead leaves and flowers. Within the last few months I've planted several new plants that are looking beautiful now!! Here are my current favorites:

Verbascum chaixii

Snap dragons

Mexican sage: Has doubled in size in 1 month and smells wonderful

My tallest sunflower sprouts; they are about 2.5 ft tall

Peppermint
