Feedback On Fine Gardening

I came across the article about this contest in the magazine. I very much like the picture to the right. It's a sample of the ice theme. I wonder if anyone here know what's the plant there with big (sort of fuzzy/wooly) leaves.

This is the link to the contest.

I think it's Salvia argentea, but I'm not sure.

Have you ever noticed that you never see me post at the exact same time as "Marty" or "Dagwood?" Coincidence?

Thanks for your response! I checked on the plant profile of Salvia argentea. The plant in the picture really resembles it. The Salvia argentea likes sunny dry soil, I'm going to plant some next to the lavenders.

Cheers,

Jeff
