'''''Salvia argentea''''' ('''Silver Sage''', '''Silver Salvia''' ), also known as '''Silver Clary''', is a biennial or short-lived [[perennial plant]]. It is native to northern [[Africa]]. In habit it is similar to the related European species ''[[Salvia sclarea]]'', forming a rosette of basal leaves in its first year, and flowering stems up to about 50 cm tall in its second year. Its leaves have a distinctive silvery white color (caused by numerous fine hairs), are about 8 inches long and rounded at the tip. <ref>Frances Tenenbaum. 2003</ref> | |||
