I am not familiar with them and checked on them - they seem to be short-lived perennials (annuals elsewhere), and I like to concentrate on the long-lived, tough perennials that can make it through our dry summers.

I'm also using Talinum paniculatum which has this lime green succulent leaves and lacy panicles of small pink flowers becoming red seed-pods. It's drought and heat-tolerant too and I love what it does to a partly shady spot- just lights it up.
