Salvia lemmonii (Lemmon's sage) is an aromatic species of sage that is native to the United States and Mexico.[1][2]
Salvia lemmonii grows to a height of between 30 and 90 cm (12 and 35 in) and has ovate leaves which are between 2.5 and 5 cm (0.98 and 1.97 in) long.[2] The long, tubular flowers are deep pink to crimson with a projecting upper lip and a wide, down-turned lower lip. These appear in clusters on the ends of stems between July and October (mid summer to mid spring) in their native range.[2]
Salvia lemmonii species occurs in mountains in dry woodland in Northwestern Mexico, southern Arizona and New Mexico, usually in canyons or on rocky slopes.[1][2] Research grade observations at iNaturalist range from 1200 to 2800 meters in elevation.[3]
