OSTEOSPERMUM ECKLONIS ''Sunset Purple' (annual). Said to be easy to grow from seed. I saw this on the Our Little Acre blog described in a container planting planted with Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Blackie') and Asparagus Fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri'), with a Cordyline australis 'Red Star' that Had overwintered from the previous year.

GERANIUM MACRORRHIZUM (big-root geranium). Might be a nice and inexpensive groundcover at the edge of the woods out front or other large area. I really like the way it is used here to border a walkway in a large area.
