A lovely free flowering, self seeding, short perennial Sage with tall spikes of white lipped flowers set amidst bold hairy leaves. Prefers a sunny well drained site for best results. Finally managed to name this!! Grown it for years and finally tracked it down. It is amazing how the buds gradually unfurl to reveal rather spectacular blooms. Height 90cm (3')
