Salvia eremostachya, the rose sage,[1] sand sage, or Californian desert sage, is a perennial shrub native to the western edge of the Colorado Desert. It reaches 2 to 3 ft (0.61 to 0.91 m) high, with purplish green bracts on .75 in (1.9 cm) flowers that range from blue to rose to nearly white. The flowers grow in whorled clusters, blooming from April to November.[2]

The specific epithet, "eremostachya" (Greek for "desert stachys"), refers to the plants likeness to those of the genus Stachys.[3]
