Hello,
We live in a coastal area so I don't know very much about arid plants but my echiverias do much better in part shade/ mostly shade and I also just planted an very interesting little plant called Campanula vidalii. Supposedly good for dry shade but with beautiful delicate "cottege garden" bell flowers. It doesn't bloom for a couple years though so this one would take patience but I think it is so unique it would be worth the wait.

Care is as follows:
"This is a very distinct and rare Campanula that is easy to grow and is tolerant of neglect. Good-looking, evergreen, upright, glossy foliage bears beautiful, 2", pink waxy "churchbells" in profusion in late Summer. Nice in a pot and it takes FULL, DRY SHADE (sun will burn it). To 2' tall."
Low to Avg. water Perennial

USDA zones 9-10

from Annies annuals

I will look into some california natives that so well in shade as we have very dry summers usually no rain and our zones are 9 and 10 generally.

Just down the street from me is the most beautiful garden in town.It is dedicated to the gardeners son, who passed away. Good luck on your memorial garden.
