What to plant on this narrow fence line?

I’m removing everything in front of the fence. A bit hard to see, but there is an upper and lower terrace, each about 2 or 2.5 feet deep and 50 feet long. We’re looking east so the sun doesn’t hit directly until almost 2pm. I like the idea of manzanita or ceanothus spilling over the edge but I’m not sure there’s enough sun. Another idea I had was upright perennials like Stachys, Tellima, Aqueligia, Lilium.

Thoughts? What would you do?

I’m in 10a on the coast, near Muir Woods.
