RE: drought

I have Salvia clevelandii and salvia leucophylla, they are very
drought-tolerant California natives, but I am not sure how to propagate them
from cuttings. Guess I could give it a try as I would like to know how. If
it works I can send them for you to try in your garden.

Pam, I've got pineapple sage, too.  It didn't spread as much as normal last 
summer because of no rain, but I'm sure there's plenty to share with you.
