Plant recs for full sun landscaping/flowerbed?

Looking for some inspo for my front landscaping this year. My beds are full sun South LA, so would need something that can stand the heat. Thought this thread might be useful to others with similar situation.
Ones I've had success with in prior years - salvia (already coming back strong), vinca, zinnia. Sunpatiens do well for me in spring but get toasted in summer despite frequent watering. Testing out some Verbena this year since they supposedly love heat. Other recommendations appreciated
