Re: Hardy 'pretty' flowers/Kangaroo Paw?

from No. California Coast, specifically Mendocino area, all with some barrier, not necessarily right on the bluff.

Tibouchina
Leptospermum
Leucadendron
Hydrangea petiolaris
Fuchsia 'First Success' with protection
Rosa 'Penelope' , 'The Gift' and many others with prot.
Silene maritima (full exposure)
Linaria 'First Lights' (full exposure)
Verbena 'Homestead Purple'
Plecostachys
Hebe, all
Haloragis erecta (Wellington Bronze is a hoax, not significantly different than the species which is seedy and must be controlled)
Lithospermum
Phormiums

there's lots more, but those are the ones which come to mind first.

Can anyone recommend long-flowering or colourfully foliaged plants for a =
garden that is subject to salt-laden, high-speed winds (although there =
are barrier plants in place) and a Mediterranean type climate.

Lantana
Bouganvilla
Iceplant

All plants I grew up with in San Diego right by the ocean.
