Extreme temps plants

| Hello from Houston. I have a small 3'x 15' bed on my enclosed back patio. Because I live in a townhome complex, the patio is quite hemmed in. The bed receives full-blast sun and heat in the summer and no sun at all during our wet winters. To make things worse, there is little or no air/breeze that reaches the bed because the patio is enclosed by 6 foot fences.
Can anyone think of annuals that might tolerate such extremes?
Thanks very much in advance!

| Oops; I meant perennials. |

| Probably the toughest perennial I know of is Lantana. It grows really fast and there are some very pretty hybrids with flowers that fade from pink the yellow to orange. |

| I think hibiscus would do nice for you. They are one of the few plants that can look "perfect" in very hot climates. --april-- |
