Comments (15)I'm in the San Francisco area and we are not in the drought that has plagued So. Cal., but our rainfall was lacking this year and drought is predicted. If my native plants are correct, they too think that drought is on it's way. I have tons more seedpods on plants this year than in previous years of normal rainfall. My Dudleyas were huge in the past years with 3-4 flower stalks. This year, they only grew to medium size but had 8-10 flower stalks. The redbud has so many seedpods you can hardly see the foliage. My theory is that the production of so many seedpods is to ensure the survival of the species when rain returns Many plants also bloomed earlier and have started to go into summer dormancy earlier. The plants think drought is coming and that's good enough for me. wanda...See Moredilemma: what to plant with agapanthus in hot spot?
Comments (6)To me, 100 to 120 degress -- as in our interior valleys an desert -- is "roasting hot sun". The reason that your corn marigolds and poppies started looking ratty come summer is that they are cool season annuals (the poppies are almost perennial when they get summer water).

Comments (1)tibouchina is beautiful but not especially drought tolerant and can get rather large for your sight (8'wide and tall) you might consider sub shrubs like lavender, rosemary, santalina, some of the smaller varigated new zealand flax, bottle brush, wooly blue curls (trichostema lanatum), leptospermum, coast rosemary (westringia), and dietes (fortnight lily)....See Moreecholane
