'''''Salvia nemorosa''''' ('''Woodland sage''') is a hardy herbaceous [[perennial]] plant native to a wide area of central Europe and western Asia. It is an attractive plant that is easy to grow and propagate, with the result that it has been passed around by gardeners for many years. Its wide distribution, long history, and the ease with which it hybridizes have resulted in many [[cultivar]]s and hybrids—along with problems in clearly identifying the [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]]s and their relationship with ''S. nemorosa''. It was named and described by [[Carl Linnaeus]] in 1762, with "nemorosa" ("of woods") referring to its typical habitat in groves and woods.<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D.

Many of them are hardy to –18 °C., with flowers ranging in color from violet, to violet-blue, rosy pink, and even white. All are perennial, with numerous leafy stems growing from the base at the beginning of summer. The many inflorescences have closely spaced whorls of small flowers with brightly colored calyces. The plant prefers full sun, good drainage, and moderate weekly watering.<ref name="Clebsch"/> {{Inc| Salvia nemorosa, Crantz (S. virgata., Hort., not Ait. S. virgata nemorosa, Hort.). Fig. 3537.
