The silver underside of the leaves is what gives Andean Silver Leaf sage its name. A frost tender plant, it must be grown as annual in most of the US.

Each one of these stems will put forth a single flower stem that will have multiple tiers of almost black flowers. The powdery gray of the stems and leaves blends well with both silver and gray foliaged plants.
