ID plants from website
I came across this https://www.bhg.com/home-improvement/exteriors/curb-appeal/ways-to-add-curb-appeal/#page=9 but am having trouble identifying all of the plants. Obviously sweet potato vine... is that deep burgundy in the center towards the top coleus? I'm particularly interested in the pink plant cascading in the center.

Wow, I had never heard of ivy geraniums! I looked them up and I think you could be right, although the leaves maybe look a bit more slender and oblong than a geranium (it's hard to tell in the photo but look towards the bottom). I've never been a geranium fan, but I think I could go for the ivy variety!
Any ideas for the red/hot pink flowers on either side of the pink? I'm also curious about the white salvia-like plant in the center.

The cascading pink flowered plant has the wrong leaves for Ivy Geraniums, although you'd get the same effect if you were to use them.
To me, it looks more like a double Azalea, but I can't get clear enough resolution when I blow up the photo to be certain. There are also Gerbera daisies (the yellow ones on the upper right), and what looks to be Clove Pinks (the deep pink, smaller flowered ones) in there.

Yeah, I grow the double petunias every year and they are way showier, look more like a carnation or something. Only thing I don't like... my single petunias I collect seeds from, but the doubles are apparently a sterile hybrid and I have never had any set any seed. So I have to buy those seeds again every year.
