Silver Sage

Silver Sage produces a rosette of gray-green, almost silver, woolly leaves that beg to be touched. This relative of Clary Sage can grow to a width and height of 30 inches. In the second season, white flowers arrive and can be cut back before they go to seed, enhancing the appearance of the foliage.
