[medit-plants] Salvias that are drought tolerant

In my experience and as a broad generalisation (Languedoc, France) the most drought resistant are most Med basin natives and the Californian natives. Your pic looks like Hot Lips, a Microphylla cv. I find all the st greggii/microphylla/xjamensis cvs etc pretty drought resistant but won't survive without a little irrigation. pic looks rather like canariensis tho not totally sure. 

Best,

Dear Medit-Plants people,
I'm learning more about Salvias. A number of the types I've experimented with did very poorly during the dry summer. I now see that these were the more tropical types. I'm interested to try more of the drought tolerant types. There are so many different Salvias it can be very confusing. Do any of you know of some lists of drought tolerant Salvias? Also, I saw the following two Salvias growing locally which seem to do well during our dry summers. I hope the photos are clear enough. If anyone knows what they are I would be very grateful.
