Salvia roborowskii is an annual or sometimes biennial herb that is native to a wide area that includes Tibet, Sikkim, and five provinces in China, growing on wet stream banks, grasslands, and hillsides between 8,000 and 12,000 feet elevation. Growing up to 3 feet tall in the wild, Salvia roborowskii has triangular rosemary-green leaves that cover the upright plant. The leaves have scalloped edges, have a hairy surface, and are indented with veins. The 0.25 inch lemon-yellow flowers grow out from a rosemary-green calyx, with 8-12 flowers per whorl. Only a few flowers are in bloom at a time.
How to keep Salvia Roborowskii.
Water
Drought-resistant varieties of Salvia roborowskii need minimal watering, mainly during periods of drought. On the other hand, tender varieties and young plants require regular watering—about 2.5 cm (1 inch) every 7 to 10 days—to avoid the soil drying out completely.
