I'm beggining a (mostly) succulent garden in a southwestern facing nook here in central California. The area gets reflected heat from two adjacent walls and is protected from frost and cold wind. My question is what are must have plants for a zone 9 succulent garden? So far i have:

Aloe Marlothii

Aloe Ferox

A trunking aloe (possibly barberae)

Aloe microstigma

Aloe Striata

Aloe Arborecens

Aloe Ciliaris

Aloe Minibelle

Aloe Crosby's prolific

Several unknown suckering aloes

Crassula (jade plant)

Beaucarnea Recurvata (ponytail palm)

Agave Desmettiana Variegata

Kalanchoe (the ones sold at christmas time)

Several Echeverias (nothing rare)

Pelargoniums

Sedums

Aeonium arboreum and others

Pachypodium Lamereii

And a couple of non-succulents:

Dypsis Decipiens

Phoenix Roebelinni

Strelitzia Nicolai

Coral Vine (climbing one of the walls)

Cordyline Australis "Red Star"
