Poliomintha longiflora aka "Mexican Oregano" likes full sun and blooms most
of the summer. Hummingbirds and butterflies love the blooms. It's usually
evergreen through mild Austin winters. A recommended xeric plant:

the culinary Mexican Oregano (Lippia graveolens) or the culinary
Mediterranean Oregano:
