    Does anyone know what this plant is? It was bought at a nursery in Kalamata, Greece. but it was supplied by a commercial nursery in Italy.It has an open lax habit and the colouring and leaf shape are similar to Salvia officinalis, but the leaf texture is not so rough; it has a slight sheen, like an eggshell paint finish.

    Thanks. Suspected it might be Vitex.

    The sage also has simple leaves rather than divided.

    That depends on the sage, some are divided including one S. officinalis hybrid.
