salvia conditions


I live in zone 8b, Seattle, Washington, which receives 38" rain annually,
mostly between September and May.  I've just created a mediterranean bed
which extends 50' along a south-facing wall (which is why I'm asking so many
question at this stage -- I'm procurring and planting like crazy this
spring!).  It's quite protected and has excellent drainage with a PH of 7 or
so. I have several Salvia greggiis and love them, but would like to learn
about others that originate from the Mediterranean. Any plant less than 4' x
4' is fine. Also, I forgot to mention that if people know of good sources or
seeds they have to spare (of salvias), I'd be glad to hear about it.  Nan --
I'll look for the book on salvias that you recommend.  

I was also wondering what people recommend as a good reference book for
medit plants.  I've looked at the list on the MGS website, but might have
missed one that is an "encyclopedia" type with lots of good photos.
