Salvia koyamae - Japanese Yellow Sage

(Shinano-akigiri) A native to Honshu Island, Japan, this shade and moisture loving Salvia is a perfect fit for woodland gardens or shady borders. The large, yellow-green hairy leaves form loose, gently spreading clumps decorated by rather large, clear yellow flowers. And it is hardy!

We think this is an underused gem of a plant. Highly recommended.
