Salvia leucantha 'Purple & White'
Bushy perennial, with a branching habit and woody base. Attractive downy long silver-grey leaves. In late summer and autumn it has spikes of furry mauve-purple and white flowers that look great against the grey foliage. In cooler climates it will die down in winter, cut the stems back in spring. Best in a sunny site in free draining soil.
