Name of cucumber flavoured sage?

| Hi, all.
Is it called cucumber sage? The roundish gray leaves taste like cucumber. It has red flowers and survives with very little water. I have one that I just rediscovered after a year or two. Can't remember what it's called. |

| You couldn't possibly be talking about Salad burnet could you? (Sanguisorba minor syn. Poterium sanguisorba) I can't think of any sage with a cucumber taste. Comfrey and Borage are also known for a cucumber flavour but don't have red flowers or round leaves. Cheers,
Dee. |

It's not salad burnet.That's completely different.
This is a Salvia. I've taken a pic which I will put onto the Name that Plant forum page soon. |
