What plants should I use in the Arizona shade?

I am trying to add some greenery to our landscape and am in need of some plant advice. Here's a description of the spot I need to put them:



- mostly shade, some late afternoon sun

- hot %26amp; dry Arizona weather

- medium size, maybe about 10-12" high, coming in a 1-gal container or smaller

- no drip system but I can water every couple of days as needed - prefer natural desert plant rather than a forced water-needy one

- prefer a succulent (cactus or yucca)

- inexpensive

- something I will likely find at Lowe's or Home Depot



Anyone have any ideas? I am looking for specific "named" recommendations so I know what to look for at the garden center.



Many thanks!What plants should I use in the Arizona shade?
