'''''Salvia uliginosa''''' ('''Bog sage''') is a herbaceous perennial native to southern Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. It was described and named by botanist [[George Bentham]] for its typical habitat "of swamps and marshes", or "''uliginosa''". It was introduced into horticulture in 1912, and has become popular for its azure-blue flowers and ability to grow under various conditions.<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=295|isbn=9780881925609|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=NM0iwB8GrQYC&pg=PA295}}</ref>
''Salvia uliginosa'' grows up to {{convert|3|to|6|ft|m}} tall in one season, with multiple thin stems and yellow-green lance-shaped leaves that have serrated edges. The plant quickly spreads on underground runners and is readily divided. The bright azure-blue flowers are {{convert|.5|in|cm}} long with a white beeline in the throat pointing toward the nectar and pollen. They grow in whorls beginning in summer until fall, with many flowers coming into bloom at the same time. The plant is a favorite of [[Beth Chatto]] for its extreme winter hardiness (to {{convert|15|°F|°C}} or lower) in the [[Beth Chatto Gardens]].<ref name="Clebsch"/>
