For some more examples, I took a tour around campus.
This is a new landscape around a bioswale near our Student Services building. Variegated Dianella, Blue Wildrye, Tristania concertante, Pinus halepensis.
An area that was originally planted with Manzanita and Matilda Poppy. The contractor watered it all Summer, surprisingly it all died. They didn't get the memo about xeriscaping. Agave Celsius 'multicolor', Aloe ciliaris, Kalanchoe beharensis, assorted Aeoniums.
Also around the SSB. You can even xeriscape in the shade! Cercis canadensis, Woodwardia fimbriata, Asparagus densiflorus 'Meyeri'.
