Grindelia stricta venulosa, this Gum Plant makes a small ground cover on coastal bluffs. - grid24_12
Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum, Pink-Flowering Currant, is one of the showiest wild currants, with its pendulous clusters of reddish-pink flowers. - grid24_12
Sisyrinchium bellum, Blue-Eyed Grass flowers are lavender blue. - grid24_12
Do not amend the soil, fertilize or use drip irrigation. No 'deep soak' (except for you in a tub). Water only to establish. In the Bay area,  just a few waterings for  the first summer. The humidity in San Jose and San Francisco is troubling for any of the Central and Southern California native plants. The first few waterings do well, then move on to something else in the garden.
