Hardy Perennial. This plant is related to the old-time gardening favorite, S. byzantina or Lamb's Ears, which is commonly grown in kitchen and herbal gardens. Much beloved for their fuzzy, silvery green leaves, these plants also make a valuable ornamental addition to the perennial border. S. officinalis brings dense clusters of purple flowers to bear in the summer. Prefers parial shade and moist, well-drained soil. These plants have many natural companions due to the versatility of their silver foliage which blends well with just about any perennial favorite you might have.
