Salvia yunnanensis - Yunnan Sage or yun nan shu wei cao

(Yunnan Sage or yun nan shu wei cao) A most important medicinal herb in China, this hardy perennial is native to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces in China, growing on grassy hillsides and forest margins at 5,900 to 9,500 ft.

Shade growing with spectacular blue flowers on large spikes, this is one of the finest Salvias we grow.

The bright red, tap-like toots are the part with medicinal value, used to strengthen the immune system. Research laboratories are just now identifying the active ingredients, after millennia of use by the Chinese.

Highly recommended!
