Description

Common names: Jurisic sage, Yugoslavian cut leaf sage, Ovche Pole sage (locally) feathered salvia

Salvia is the largest genus of plants in the sage (Lamiaceae) family, with nearly 1000 species. Salvias include shrubs, herbaceous perennials, and annuals. Salvias are naturally distributed over three distinct regions of diversity: Central and South America (approx.: 600 species); Central Asia and the Mediterranean (250 species); Eastern Asia (90 species). There are salvias for every type of garden, and in many colours.

Jurisic sage has become rare in its native environment of North Macedonia due to agricultural activity. It is now considered critically endangered in its native habitat.

Jurisic sage is a compact herbaceous perennial with olive-green leaves. Leaves are multi-branched with fine hairs on the back of the ribs giving them a frothy appearance. The lilac flowers are in closely spaced whorls. Plants must have full sun and excellent drainage. Flowers from late spring through summer.
