'''''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>

Salvia argentea. (S. patula, Desf.). Biennial, 2-4 ft. high: sts. herbaceous, erect, villous: lvs. radical and lower cauline, 6-8 x 4-6 in., broad-ovate, sinuate- lobate, the lobes erose-crenate, lanate; floral lvs. very broad, acuminate, concave, persistent: panicles divaricate-branched; floral whorls remote, 6-10-fld., the uppermost abortive; calyx campanulate, striate, the teeth all subspinose; corolla showy, rose-white, whitish, purplish or yellowish, the galea or upper lip much longer than the lower. June. Medit. region of Eu. and Afr. F.C. 3:112. Gn. 73; p. 517. — For some reason this species is considered a hardy perennial by American seedsmen. The foliage is white-woolly, making it a very decorative plant.
