This strongly aromatic sage features broad, silvery blue-gray leaves that add beautiful texture and color to the garden. New growth emerges bright green before developing a soft, downy gray appearance as the leaves mature. When grown in full sun, the foliage takes on an attractive purplish cast. This sage rarely blooms, helping extend the life of this short-lived perennial. Great for cooking or making tea!
