Been really hot here the last few days and I'm noticing which established perennials are wilting. Purple leaved forms of Artemisia lactiflora and Lysimachia ciliata seem particularly bad and it got me wondering as to whether unnatuaral leaf pigmentations might somehow affect drought resistance. Has anyone noticed this in any other species?
