RE: now plants that are excelling in theheat/drought

Yes - a truly lovely color especially right now! Broad arching leaves coming off the stalk.

Is it as blue as 'Elijah Blue'?  Sounds like a great grass.

Sorry - it is an ornamental grass - current around 4.5 to 5 feet tall
and just coming into flower!
I love the idea of growing with a caryoptersis of any shade, but they
are annuals for me :(

What plant is Dallas  Blues?

I have that same scabiosa, Cheryl, growing with caryopteris 'Dark
Knight' and a dark pink Japanese anemone.

I have a yellow scabiosa (Scabiosa ochroleuca) scattered about the
gardens - it appears completely unaffected by the heat and lack of
water!

One happy accident has it in front of Dallas Blues - a quiet
combination of palest yellow and blue!
I will find my way clear to snapping a shot of that today!

Pat-
Mine seem to fade out in color earlier than normal in this dreaded
heat and humidity... which is back again today... but server storms
expected tonight.

   I vote for the Blue Globe thistle (Echinops) in the heat and drought.
   Very prolific and quite lovely.  A goldfinch sitting on
   that lovely
   blue globe makes them the prettiest thing in the garden!
