Salvia is an annual plant that comes back every year. The stems are typically angled, but the leaves are usually completely entire and toothed. The flowering stems hold small bracts. Salvia has large green leaves, with a yellow outline that reach four to twelve inches long. The leaves are hairless on both sides, and have either a small petiole or no petiole at all. The plant can grow to over three feet in height, on hollow square stems which tend to break very easily, with the plant rooting quite readily at the nodes. The leaves are attached in small bundles to the stem where they meet the flowers. Salvia | Salvia is an annual plant that comes back every year.

The flowers, which barely ever bloom, grow in bundles of about twelve inch inflorescence, which have about six flowers to each bundle. The one point two inch flowers are white and covered with hairs, and are held inside of a small calyx flower that is covered in hairs. The calyx is tubular shapes and divided into two lips. The fruits are smooth and oblong nutlets which bloom rarely depending on the season. If this flower does happen to bloom in its native habitat it blooms from anywhere from September to May. The flowers rise in a upward spiral of about six inches in small intervals. | The flowers, which barely ever bloom, grow in bundles of about twelve inch inflorescence, which have about six flowers to each bundle.
