I live in the Los Angeles area, and I'm wondering if anyone has any
recommendations for plants that would do well against a south facing, light
colored, stucco wall (hot in summer). I'm primarily interested in using
perennials, in blues, lavenders, purples, yellows, and whites....between 2'
and 4' in height. Any ideas?


Climates vary significantly across the city. Just consider the
differences between Northridge (frost in the winter and over 100 in
the summer) and Brentwood (no frost and in the 80s in the summer).
In what part of the city are you?
