Since you say "I'm in the central semi-desert area of the state" (didn't know WA had a semi-desert area before).....

High Country Gardens offers a lot of different plants (Agastaches, Salvias and others) that are drought tolerant, that you might want to check into, as well as, FBTS.com http://www.highcountrygardens....

Check out all the Agastaches (Hummingbird Mint) that HCG grows and sells.

I've been ordering from HCG, since spring 2005 and they have some of their own introductions.

One I've been growing in the ground, since then is their Salvia 'Raspberry Delight' (zone 6) http://www.highcountrygardens.... and http://www.fbts.com/salvia-x-g...
