I think I have narrowed it down to Salvia officinalis berggarten because of the zone hardiness. That is the only one so far that is a common sage that I find that is hardy in my zone 5b.

Donna After checking... don't think it is. The foliage on mine are smaller and smooth but fuzzy. This message was edited Oct 15, 2008 9:51 PM
