A fragrant evergreen perennial that grows up to five feet tall and eight feet wide. The foliage is silver with soft, gray-white leaves of white. The white flowers with a little lavender bloom April through July. This sage can take up to three years to reach a mature size.
The leaves are commonly used for incense. Drop one in a glass of cool water each day, or make a calming tea.
