Front sidewalk cut mock up

I'm wondering if there is some sort of mid-sized Bird of Paradise plant for our front sidewalk cut? (EDIT: The answer is no). The giant ones grow to ten or twenty feet. S. reginae is more of a four foot plant. Is there a plant with this sort of leaf pattern which grows to five or six feet and likes Northern California temperatures?

 

Our Bird of Paradise plant (currently residing on the back deck) is at this scale here via Photoshop trickery. In reality, it is half of this height. The Aeoniums are to scale.

 

Here is what we ended up planting instead:
