Best plants for summer according to my experience:

Vinca (super heat tolerant)
Morning glory (best planted in semi-shaded area)
Zinnia (direct sown)
Cosmos sulphureus
Ornamental peppers

Amaranthus and all its species including cockscomb don't do good in summer heat in Rawalpindi. Best performance will be delivered if sown in August and the blooms will last till May.

Green Impex is not offering Magellan. The nursery which will offer you Magellan as seedlings is Allan Tawakal Nursery, Opp Harley street, Bakra mandi, RWP. For direct sow you can get seeds only from Pride seeds, Lahore.

Tahir Awan is bakwas sorry to say not a reliable seed store. Among seeds stores at Islamabad/ RWP only Green Impex is reliable which does not offer retail packets.
