Perovskia is used a lot here in California and is drought tolerant and deer resistant. I believe High Country Gardens sells it.

Never had much success with sage myself. Dave's Garden says it's propagated by softwood cuttings or seeds. JL Hudson, among others, sells the seeds, but ya 
gotta know the botanical name (Perovskia atriplicifolia) to find it in the
catalog.

I was in San Antonio this weekend and kept seeing this purple "shrub" type plant. Loved it. Just happened to see a little plant vendor on the corner 
that had some.  I had no idea what it was...just like it.  He called it
Russian Sage. It has the sage "gray/green" leaf...and tons of tiny purple 
flowers all over it.
Question for the group...where can I find more of this?  I love it!!!
Wonder if it can be propagate...or if I have to start from seed....
