What flowers would grow best for North Texas??

I live in North Texas around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I can't get any flowers to grow good. Either they need shade but it's too hot or they need sun but our yard is kind of shaded. What is a good flower that will live and preferably are annuals.

What flowers would grow best for North Texas??
I live in springtown and had good luck this year with daylilies, roses, begonias, marigolds, lantana, sunflowers, butterfly bush, alyssum, four o'clocks, vinca(perriwinkle) portacula(purslane), cactus-prickly pear, aloes, other succulents,


and flowering vines-passionflower, trumpet vine and hyacinth beans.
Reply:Have you tried daylilies? They are hardy, can grow in shade, and I think do okay in heat.
Reply:It's kind of hard to kill marigolds. With the glory of bluebonnets in spring, who needs other flowers? :)
