The plants look good, Jake!
That Mexican sunflower looks like the Torch variety. There are dwarfer-growing varieties, too.
Many of the annuals I think I see, are able to take a tad more cold, than others. Castor Beans, Eucalyptus cinerea, and the Candle Bush, for instance, can take lows into the mid-20s, before getting damage, or dying. This makes it hardier than say the leaves on that type of elephant ear. The leaves turn even a darker purple, on that selection of Castor Bean, in cooler temps.
Did you grow that Candle Bush from seed?
