Title: Re: Need ideas for sun-blasted parking strip et al.
This may seem an odd suggestion,
but what about Matilija Poppy (Romneya)?
My favorite place I've seen Romneya is in the median between the sidewalk and the street-----------the concrete keeps this lovely thug in check. The foliage is pretty even when not blooming. It may be too huge, but worth a thought.

I need something (or more than one thing) to populate a narrow (2 feet wide, 80 feet long) parking strip between the paved parking area and a low, south-facing concrete wall that forms the drop-off for the sidewalk in front of the school. The idea is to keep the children from jumping directly off the sidewalk into the parking lot, and also soften and improve the appearance of the new blocky building. I'd prefer something evergreen.
