>Being based in the inland bay area around San Francisco, CA, where the
summers are real hot (Zone 9), I've had good luck with a lot of plants
considered more *Mediterranean* in their habits such as Alyogyne, Teucrium,
some of the Thymus, Tagetes lemmonii, Callistemons, mints.<
We are just finishing our long hot dry summer here in Mediterranean France,
and are expecting humid weather soon. I am just starting to increase some
Thyme plants by burying their lower branches in a sandy loamy mix and
watering gently. I'll let you know if it works !
Some 'Mediterranean' and similar regions have a 'second spring' in the
Autumn when the heat drops and the humidity rises.
Cuttings can even be take when you are pruning back for the winter (eg
Brugmansias)
