Silver Sage
Salvia argenta
aka "Ugly Fuzzy Plant"
spikes of yellow flowers are supposed to appear after the second year, but I read this plant only lives two years...
"short lived" perennial
needs excellent drainage
full sun biennial
"Hobbit's Foot"
If shoots appear on the sides they can be removed with roots to produce another generation of plants. Can also be allowed to flower and set seeds which will result in new seedlings.
Planted summer 2010 by the deck
heat and drought tolerant
grows 18-24" tall

I "staked" this plant up last night and put
Diatomaceous earth around it to keep the slugs at bay. We'll see!
