The ornamental species are commonly referred to by their genus name Salvia. The genus is distributed throughout the Old World and the Americas, with three distinct regions of population: Central and South America (approx. 500 species); central Asia/Mediterranean (250 species); eastern Asia (90 species). Salvia species include annual, biennial, or perennial herbs, along with woody subshrubs. The stems are typically angled like other members in Lamiaceae. The leaves are commonly entire, but sometimes are toothed, or pinnately divided. The flowering stems bear small bracts, dissimilar to the basal leaves, in some species they are ornamental and showy.
