Re: mystery plant

Could be it - those flowers will be coming off and I'll keep my eyes open for another to let go to seed elsewhere!
Love that texture - I want to stroke it.

Sounds like Salvia argentea;if so next year it will be (mine are anyway)upright
with white flowers..Said to biennal if flowers are allowed to remain..Doesnt like
wet conditions as I recall rated zone 5?

It's not a sage or saliva, is it?

as the final stop before going home my daylily buddy wanted to stop
at a local nursery closing in Stow MA.... Lots of bargains, and I got
one thing that I fell for, but it has no tag!
silver, felted leaves in a flat rosette. the leaves are nearly
perfect ovals. no bloom scape.... It is not a stachys that I have
ever seen.

I figured it was worth a $1 and that I would tuck it in a empty spot.
If it doesn't make it, oh well, and if it does, that's great!

now is there a plant finder out there that I can use to make an educated guess.
