hrjIdeas for drought tolerant plants for redesigning the front lawnish thing. (My idea is to organize plantings around a small stone bench.)
Lavender - several varieties; esp Provence, Hidcote, Dutch Mill, not so much the Stoechas varieties
Thyme - I never could make it work in the knot garden where it got too little sun
Already have plenty of rosemary, although an upright might fit in
Dwarf manzanita? Does of stay dwarf?
No Salvia! No ceanothus!
Buddleua? Maybe, but everyone's doing it these days
Lavatera looks interesting, nice height and color without much width
Barberry? Only if I can get a fruiting variety. Hmm, some descriptions mention thorns. Reconsider.
Myrtle? Look into habits
Rockrose? Good color, check habits.
Some traffic-hardy ground cover would be good.
