Alyssum and marigolds are both pretty tough. Nasturiums are if they get the right spot - I have one patch that runs rampant under the rasberry canes and tried to take over the whole yard (with an attempt to get inside the house, too!). Others out the front in full sun struggled a bit, but one managed a foot hold around the garden tap and is doing quite well.

Nasturtiums should do OK. Tough little bunnies if they get enough shade & moisture. The immature seed pods are edible, as are the flowers. Quite a spicy peppery taste and a succulent crunch factor that goes really nice in salads. Neither cook well.

Fingers crossed. The spot is rather dry and gets a lot of sun
