Salivia canariensis

A highly branched shrub from the base that can reach 2 m in height, with erect, quadrangular branches that tend to droop as it matures. The leaves are decussate (opposite, with those at adjacent nodes at a 180° angle), sagittate or hastate, light green on the upper surface and whitish on the underside due to the dense tomentum, and have crenate margins. The flowers are bilabiate, with a large corolla that is pink, violet, or even white, grouped in terminal, multi-flowered racemes with violet bracts that are even larger than the calyx. It is endemic to the Canary Islands and closely related to garden sage.
