'''''Salvia verticillata''''' is a herbaceous perennial native to a wide area ranging from central Europe to western Asia, and naturalized in northern Europe and North America. It was first described by [[Carolus Linnaeus]] in 1753.<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D. Barner|title=The New Book of Salvias|publisher=Timber Press|date=2003|page=298|isbn=9780881925609|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=NM0iwB8GrQYC&pg=PA298}}</ref>
''Salvia verticillata'' has a leafy base of mid-green leaves covered with hairs, putting up leaf-covered stems that carry {{convert|3|ft|m}} inflorescences. The tiny lavender flowers grow tightly packed in whorls, with tiny lime-green and purple calyces. The specific epithet ''verticillata'' refers to the whorls that grow in verticils. A cultivar introduced in the 1990s, 'Purple Rain', is much more showy and long-blooming, growing about {{convert|2|ft|m}} tall.<ref name="Clebsch"/>
