$6.99
Beautiful hairy gray leaves and stems. This wildflower spreads quickly and aggressively via rhizomes, so it's more suitable for larger landscaping projects or naturalization. The rhizomes are right underneath the soil surface, so it's easy to reduce the size if desired.
Requires plenty of room. Flowers in the second half of summer, but the flowers are largely insignificant.
It's best to plant this sage in drier and drained soil, because it becomes a bit leggy or even floppy if planted in rich and moist soil. The more extreme the place is, the slower it will spread. It can easily be cut back any time if the shape or size is undesirable; it re-sprouts quite quickly with new silver, aromatic leaves.
Best for larger or large naturalistic plantings, as erosion control on slopes, shallow soils, naturalization.
Looks good with bigger prairie plants like Baptisia, Echinacea (E. angustifolia, pallida, paradoxa, tennesseensis), Rudbeckia, Monarda fistulosa, Silphium terebinthinaceum, or other bigger plants. It can overcome small or tender plants, so you may have to keep an eye on how much it spreads.
Also called white sage. It was used in bundles for smudging and ceremonial purposes by many Native American tribes.
