Three-lobed Sage

Perennial herb which grows up to 2 ft high and wide, with the flower stalks rising 1 ft or more above the foliage. The entire plant is covered with hairs, with numerous leaves of various sizes growing in clusters, giving it a silvery and bushy appearance. The flowers are pinkish-lavender or white, about 5 in long, growing in whorls along the inflorescence, and held in a small oxblood-red five-pointed hairy calyx.
