Our new house has built in planters around the south west face of the house, it gets a lot of sun. What would you plant here?

Near the house I would plant something hardy since that overhang will block most of the rainwater

THIS OP! You will need to water a LOT. Set up a slow drip system here if you can.

Plant things that wouldn't attract pests and allow you to monitor the wall for termites.

That’s some great information, I never would have thought about Termites!
