The first plant that I managed to positively identify was French Tarragon. It was positively identified through pictures and also due to the fact that a tag for the plant was found when it was trimmed back. It had grown quite large and overwhelmed the tag.
The second plant that I got a positive or nearly positive identification on was Rue, variety unknown. I didn't find a tag on this one but it is unique enough looking that there isn't much chance of being wrong on identification.
The last plant that I got a pretty solid identification on was Artemisia. It is most likely the variety 'Silver King'. I am not positive on the variety but I am pretty positive that it is Artemisia.
The next plant could potentially be Comfrey or Hyssop but identification on this one will probably be near impossible until it blooms since it is so generic in appearance.
The next plant I found a potential for but am not certain I got this one right. The reason I am so uncertain is that it is only hardy to zone 6a and we are right at the edge of hardiness. Also, it is not an herb.
The plant I found that looks like this one is Cotton Lavender or Gray Santolina. The pictures above are from the arboretum's herb garden. The picture below is from the internet. I could use a second, third, etc. opinion on if they are the same plant. They certainly look like it to me!
The next plant I felt certain I would have found a match for since it is very distinctive. However, I have come up a complete blank on identification for it. The only thing I have found that could even be partially similar is tansy and that doesn't seem like a good match. I think I will just have to wait til this flowers!
Lastly, we have another complete unknown. Again, this is one that I think will need to wait for flowers for a positive identification.
