Sedum

Upright sedum varieties bloom in late summer thru Fall.  They are a great choice for a hot, dry place as they are very drought tolerant.  Their succulent leaves add texture and often change color in cooler temps.  Many types are also loved by pollinators.

Creeping types stay low to the ground and often spread to fill in an area.  Provide full to part sun and well drained soil.
