Salvia ballotiflora is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, that is native to Texas in the United States as well as northeastern and central Mexico.[2] Common names include shrubby blue sage[1] and mejorana.[3]
Description
Shrubby blue sage is a shrub, growing to a height of 1.2–1.8 m (3.9–5.9 ft) with a spread half of that. The ovate leaves are 1.5–3.8 cm (0.59–1.50 in) long and have serrated or wavy margins.[2] Trichomes on the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves[4] give them a rough texture. Its profuse light blue to purple flowers are less than 1.3 cm (0.51 in) in length and are produced from April to October.[2]
Habitat and range
Salvia ballotiflora is found in the Edwards Plateau and Tamaulipan mezquital[5] of southern and western Texas. Its range in Mexico includes the states of Coahuila, Durango, Hidalgo, Nuevo León, and Zacatecas. It prefers alkaline soils,[2] such as those of limestone canyons.[3]
Uses
The leaves of shrubby blue sage are used for flavoring foods.[3] It is cultivated as an ornamental for its colorful blooms.[2]
