The area is next grasses, we can set sprinklers only spray on the grasses. But it unavoidable make that area moist more or less.
The space is 6 ft against the wall
I want to replace boxwood with south coastal California natives. But not replaced the grasses; Prefer the plants to be around 4 by 4 ft
Plants that host insects, pollinators/caterpillars ( I guess it’s deep shade, so maybe not many pollinators?)
Provides shelter and food ( seeds or berries) for small birds

Depending on where you are, Canyon Sunflower (Venegasia carpesioides) might work?

On the Prairie Moon Nursery website, you can filter for plants by state, shade, and soil moisture! I would start there. It should give you some good options
r/ceanothus will be more helpful and specific as it’s for CA native plants exclusively.
Look into some Ribes, Pitcher Sage, Hummingbird Sage, maybe even Coffeeberry. Check out Calscape as well for more guidance.
