Hi all -
 
Do any of you have favorite 'narrow plants', as in 18" to 24" wide? 
 
The two sides of the walkway get opposite sun exposure - one the morning sun,
the other side gets hot afternoon sun with additional reflected light.
 
I am in California, USA Zone 9, Western Sunset Zone 14 -16.

Thanks -
