I have a subscription to Better Homes and Gardens and the last one I read talked briefly about succulents. The article was mostly about pretty containers, but there was some brief introduction to succulents. So thought I would share, because they sound like just what you need!
"Succulents are the perfect plants for forgetful gardeners. Molly grows them in cactus mix for good drainage and gives them a thorough soaking every week or two; more water than that risks killing them... Succulents grow slowly, so a combination may last years in the same pot".
Some they list with pictures:
- Fuzzy Echeveria setosa
- Smooth leave hens and chicks (Sempervivum tectorum)
- Pink flowered Sedum matrona
- Kalanchoe 'Flapjacks'
- Kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos)
- Euphorbia 'Sticks on Fire'
- Sedum spectabil 'Brilliant'
- Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg'
- Echeveria imbricata
- Sedum morganianum 'Donkey's tail'
I think they would look great!! And less watering :D Good luck, i'll let you know if i find more information.

Oh, and by the way, it also says they're drought-tolerant. I forgot to mention that.
Thanks abby! Let me know if come across any design ideas. I'm not feeling confident enough to try one on my own.
