A perfect plant for this location would be Portulaca or as it's sometimes called Rose Moss. First and foremost, the plant not only survives in heat, but thrives in it! Second, the colors of Portulaca are all the colors of the rainbow and absolutely brilliant in the intensity of the color. It will make your pot a very showy garden focal point. Third, since the plant is also low growing it will probably spill over the sides of your pot for even more color. Fourth, the plant is considered drought tolerant, but will thrive with occasional watering. Portulaca likes a sandy loam soil---which you should have plenty of in Texas. Good luck. I think you'll fall in love with the Portulaca plants you'll find at your local nursery.
