The genus Salvia is one of the largest of all flowering plants. It includes a vast range of plants, from giant Cloud Forest species to tiny drought resistant gems to hardy herbaceous perennials from the mountains of China. Some experts estimate that there are 900 species, and innumerable varieties of the common species would increase this number greatly.
In addition, there are many fine garden plants closely related and very similar to Salvias. Some were thought to be Salvias until botanists decided otherwise. Here we list the very best of these.
