Silver Sage (Salvia argentea 'Artemis')

Great looking leaves.

It's presently blooming in Cheyenne. The third year for the original plants. I was expecting them to be strictly biennial (since I don't cut the flowering stems back until after the seed has matured). Once I do cut them back, they regrow fresh, fuzzy foliage that stays nice the rest of the season. For some reason, they're a slug favorite in the spring of the year It doesn't seem to bother the plants (but it bugs me).

Beautiful flowers.

Beautiful flowers.

I second that

Thanks for the photo of flowers. I'll have to get this one. I have Woolly Lamb's Ear (Helen Von Stein) & use the foliage in flower arrangements. Perhaps this Salvia argenta Artemis would do double duty with the wonderful flowering stem,
