Not many survive the harsh winter weather here (remember, I come from Los Angeles, LOL), but I've learned that bouganvilla (sp?) may die off but do come back in the spring. They require very little care but be careful when trimming them because of the very thick thorns on the stems.
You can't beat the knock out roses that survive the winters and just grow in abundance.. Although I do miss my regular rose bushes.
I have found that verbena does die in the winter but comes back in the spring.
Be sure to plant perennials (sp?) not annuals. First thing I did when I moved here was buy a book at B&N about Central FL landscaping. It was very helpful.
Hope this helps.
