Karen,
I have to add my vote for portulaca as a go-anywhere, survive anything
companion plant. Although the blossoms close when it's overcast and towards
evening, they
are available in such an amazing range of colors...even a "broken color" pink
and white and they don't take much fussing at all. Mine even reseeded
amazingly well, I'd find little seedlings all over. I do keep them well in
front of the rhizomes however.
