The rooftop is planted with drought-tolerant perennials such as Zauchneria (California fuschia), Heliochyrsum petiolare (licorice), native Salvias (sages) and Calylophus hartwegii (sundrops); native grasses such as Aristida purpea (purple three-awn) and Nassella pulchra (needle grass), and assorted succulents such Senecios, Sedums, and Echeverias
