Pacific Northwest Gardening: Outcropping advice sought, 1 by bonehead

Here is a side shot of one side of my outcropping. It will soon be ready for planting (fun fun). This area gets full sun with a western exposure. It is at the top of a hill that slopes down to a lower grassy area and pond. The hillside will be overseeded with erosion grasses and wildflowers (which may or may not take). I want to keep the plants in the outcropping fairly low so they don't obstruct the view. I am leaning heavily toward natives, but not closed minded about cultured plants. Above the outcropping is a mowed lawn. Bring on the ideas!!
