Name: Anne Summerville, SC (Zone 8a) Only dead fish go with the flow!
I prefer perennials - the beds faces south west and gets blazing hot sun starting around 9am for the rest of the day. Succulents might be the way to go but are they zone 8 hardy?
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
