Screening plants for containers with low-moderate sunlight

Question

Any suggested plants? Although I live in San Diego, with optimum growing weather, my patio faces north and only gets a few hours of direct sunlight about 5 months a year. Also, because of the drought, interested in varieties that don’t require frequent watering.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I would suggest contacting your County Extension Office for a list of plants for your growing zone.
