Salvia subgenus Perovskia is a group of species within the flowering plant genus Salvia, which prior 2017 were treated as the separate genus Perovskia.

[2] Members of the group are native to southwestern and central Asia.

[3][4] It includes the garden plant Russian sage (Salvia × floriferior).

[5] The subgenus and former genus are named after the Russian general V. A. Perovski (1794-1857).

The leaves of this breed have long narrow teeth (i.e. are laciniate), unlike S. yangii which has entire leaves with shallow teeth.
