Has anyone mentioned Hyptis emoryi or Salvia discolor?  These make good

the other Salvia officinalis related sages like S. candelabrum and S. recognita.

Silvery and blue plants must be a rare delight in your climate, almost all these beautiful plants seem to belong to the cooler and especially drier parts of the world. Not surprisingly I suppose, as the silver is usually due to a a hairy covering designed to drought-proof them for hot dry summers.
