Achilleas are loving the drought as are Echinops and the big Salvias such as Amistad and Super Trouper. Surprisingly the roses are fine, perhaps because I have been generous with the compost underneath and the mulch on the top. Santolina, Cistus, Kniphofias all good in the dry.
Californian poppies in various shades. Verbena rigida. Erigeron. I find heucheras pretty hard core. My geranium Rozanne much tougher than I thought - planted in a sandy bed with no water, full sun and it's doing fine.
In my beds I agree Geranium Rozanne is doing surprisingly well despite other supposedly more drought-resistant plants suffering.
Also Canna (though somewhat stunted compared to those in my well-watered pots), polystichum ferns (in contrast to the struggling dryopteris and blechnia), penstemons, senecio, sedum/hylotelephium and achillea.
