'''''Salvia sclarea''''', '''clary''', or '''clary sage''', is a [[Biennial plant|biennial]] or short-lived herbaceous [[perennial]] in the genus ''[[Salvia]]''.  It is native to the region from [[Central Asia]] to the north [[Mediterranean]].
 +
 +
It is a short lived herbaceous perennial that reaches 1 m in height when in flower. In winter it dies back to a basal rosette. The [[leaf|leaves]] have a woolly-texture and are 10-20&nbsp;cm long and 6-12&nbsp;cm broad. Its [[flower]]s appear in several clusters of 2-6 on the stem, are 2.5-3.5&nbsp;cm long, and are white, pink, or pale purple in color. The bracts on the flowering stems have similar colors to the flowers. Oil bearing glands occur profusely on the flowering stems. <ref>Clebsch: the New Book of Salvias</ref>
 +
 +
The leaves have also been used as a [[vegetable]]. Clary is often grown as an [[ornamental plant]] in gardens and as a herb in herb beds, whence it can be used in sauces and [[stuffing]], much as other sages.

'''''[[Salvia]] sclarea'''''. (S. bracteata, Sims, not Soland., in Russ. S. Simsiana, R. & S.). Clary. Biennial, 2-3 ft. high: st. herbaceous, stout, erect, villous: lvs. often 8-9 x 4-5 in., petiolate, broad-ovate, erose-crenate, base cordate, hoary, the uppermost clasping; floral lvs. very broad, acuminate, concave, membranaceous, colored, their base white, their tips rose: racemes paniculate; floral whorls distant, about 6-fld.; calyx campanulate, striate, pubescent-hispid, the teeth rather spiny-acuminate; corolla whitish blue, the tube included. Aug. S. Eu. Var. turkestanica, Hort. (S. turkestanica, Hort. S. turkestaniana, Hort.), grows 3 ft. high, has quadrangular sts. tinged with pink, basal lvs. on long petioles and long spikes, 2 1/2 ft. high, of large white fls., tinged with pink. There is a form offered in the trade under the name of S. turkestanica superba, Hort., which has "dense branched pyramids of silky foliage and conspicuous rosy bracts, and white fls." S. bracteata, Soland., in Russ., is a valid species belonging to Section 1. It is a subshrub about 1-1 1/2 ft. high, with purplish fls. and a native of Asia Minor and Syria. Probably not in cult.
