You found some good plants Glendann.
I have a Plumbago that needs to be moved, the Fig tree spread out further than I expected this spring and the poor thing is crawling across the ground to find light.
Esperanza is used in the landscaping of the street medians by several cities around here and they always look so cheery, I really need to get one too.
Purple Fountain Grass is considered an annual from about central Texas going north. Hopefully, you are far enough south for it to winter over okay especially in years with mild winters.

 What a coincidence glendann, i`ve just bought a Plumbago, I know that in the UK it`ll have to be protected from the frost, but isn`t the blue a lovely colour. xxx
