Nan,
For blue, Plumbago auriculata SYN P. capensis and Scaevola just keep on
blooming and blooming. There's also a campanula, with a spire of blue
flowers, that blooms in the spring and continues through the fall. It was
planted long ago, so I do not know its name.
Gallardia goblin provides lots of orange color as does the Leonotis leonurus.
There are some great lantanas in red. Later on, the vitis Californicus
leaves should gradually turn to a flaming red.
Thanks for posting the question. You gave me lots of colorful ideas.
