Salvia discolor (Andean sage) is a herbaceous perennial growing in a very localized area in Peru. It is equally rare in horticulture and in its native habitat. The leaves, stem and flower buds all exhibit a strong and distinct odour of blackcurrant. The 1 in long deeply saturated dark purple flowers are held in a pistachio-green calyx, growing on 1 ft or longer inflorescences.
