Hi Barbara,
the only salvia I know standing deep and dry shade is salvia glutinosa but
the yellow summer flowers are not showy and it's a little bit invasive, so
I'm wondering if it 'll be good for your oriental poppies. Flowering now,
there is anaphalis triplinervis, long flowering period and standing dry
shade but it is for the foreground as it's only 10 inches high. I love this
plant.Hope this helps.
