Macro Dwarf Velvet Sage

(“Macro Dwarf”?)

At least I think this is “Dwarf Velvet Sage”! (It may also be known as “Mexican Bush Sage” or “Salvia leucantha ‘Santa Barbara’”.) In the Lamiaceae family.

Yes — “Salvia leucantha ‘Santa Barbara’”! Species page at PhytoImages, http://phytoimages.siu.edu/cgi-bin/dol/dol_terminal.pl?taxon_name=Salvia_leucantha&rank=binomial
