What Plants Are Best For A Small Raised Planter Around A Swimming Pool In The HOT Calif. Sun?

I have a small raised planter made of cement blocks in my backyard. It's an L shape,and is 27ft. X 44ft. It is 18in.D. X 25in.H. As you can see, I have limited space. It runs in the corner of the back yard,around a built in swimming pool. It is exposed all day to the hot Calif. Sun. What plants are best for this small area?

    Petunias work well on a raised bed around a swimming pool.  They tolerate the heat very well and need regular watering.  Some daisies can take the heat.  Intersperse succulents like cacti are very good choices for the hot California sun. Geraniums will work but unless you dead head them, they will drop debris into your pool.
