Silver Sage
Silver sage is a perennial plant grown for its interesting leaves. The large, light green leaves are covered with long, silky white hairs, giving them a fuzzy, silvery appearance.
In the early summer, stalks bearing white, helmet-shaped flowers rise above the leaves. Silver sage is very drought tolerant and low maintenance.
