'''''Salvia karwinskii''''' ('''Karwinski's sage''') is a perennial shrub native to the moist mountain forests of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, typically growing in or near pine or oak forests at {{convert|4000|to|8000|ft|m}} elevation. It is known as a honey-producing plant in those areas, but is rarely seen in private gardens. Specimens are grown at [[Strybing Arboretum]], [[Huntington Botanical Garden]], and [[University of California Botanical Garden]]. In California gardens, it reaches 8 feet tall and 4 ft wide ({{convert|8|by|4|ft|m|disp=output only}}), and in the wild it reaches up to {{convert|12|ft|m|adj=mid|tall|abbr=on}}. The 1 in flowers are inflated and have two lips, ranging in color from brick-red, rose-red, to scarlet, and are carried on many 15 in racemes. The calyx is a showy dark-red, about {{convert|0.5|in|cm|adj=mid|long}}. The stems and petioles of the leaves have short wooly hairs, making them appear gray. The {{convert|6|in|cm|adj=on}} rough leaves are evergreen, with veining on the underside and light cream-colored hairs.<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D.
