Re: low growing and blue or purple

I googled Plectranthus and came up with a gorgeous looking one, Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender', at

www.plantzafrica.com/ plantnop/plectranmonlav.htm

However, it is described as a thirsty plant.

Salvia cacalifolia (although I have it growing in part-shade, I've seen it grow in sun too.) It's a beautiful blue. There is a Plectranthus, I apologize for not knowing the full name, it was the big feature at the Huntington sale year before last: light purple flower, beautiful burgundy reverse on the leaf, stays mounding and lowish (maybe two feet max).

I'm looking forward to other responses, I;m big into blue right now---my "Walking Iris" are booming against the reddish color of my house and it is knockout, need more of that combo.

I'll dig around for the Plectranthus---although undoubtedly one of the wiser members who was at the same sale will come up with it first!!!

Got any suggestions for a  low growing or mounding perennial or subshrub that is low water and has a deep blue or purple flower?  Full sun, well drained soil, drip irrigation.

Thanks!
