A plant to identify

Nov 28, 2017 7 Replies

Hello all,



I came across this very aromatic plant in my neighborhood.



Having no nursery around where I live anymore I took it to the local big-box hardware store, they did not know what it is :( (Wasn't expecting much from them, anyhow.)



Would anyone know what it is?

Thank you. However, I don't think it is a Mexican anise.

There are additional photos on the Google+ sight. Unfortunately Google is not doing a good job of making there presence apparent. If you look at these additional photos, you'll see that the plant I saw is different:

  • The flowers are not red.
  • It is not a tree but a relatively tall plant.

Here is a direct link to the plant photo:

Could be Cleveland sage or a hybrid thereof.
