Echinacea. Which I grew a lot in my last garden. Now I live in the desert and you can’t beat a desert marigold for its acid yellow flowers and blue, furry leaves that are unfazed by 110F. Hard to believe they exist

Marigolds arr be are the desert ones different than a dwarf ot full?

Not even a marigold actually, tho I understand why it earned that name. Baileya multiradiata. Native to dry, hot regions in the southwest US. Really quite something after a rain. Bursts into bloom.

I love dahlias, but too hot to grow them here. I bet gomphrena would grow with a little love. What cultivars are you liking?
