Sounds like something in the artemesia family ...

Saw a couple of neat drought resistant type plants in a large business
curb-strip planted by an obvious plant person-it was very unique.  Took
a couple bits to Portland Nursery with no luck in getting the name of
the plants.  Thought maybe someone here could ID by description only.  

Mounding , spreading 10-12" tall, alternate leaves soft, grayish, ferny,
smelled like carrot!, with small buttery white flowers similar to
potentilla but with fewer stamens standing a couple inches above the
foliage. Flowers in small groups on one stem, I believe.  Very neat
appearance.
The entire planting was done with the idea of little water, if that
helps. 
The other was a Salvia greggii with black stems, very narrow leaves and
dark violet blooms.  Looking for the variety name.

Thanks much!
