Salvia sagittata is a species of herbaceous perennial plant in the family Lamiaceae.

[1][2] It is native to the Andes Mountains, growing at elevations from 9,500 to 10,500 ft (2,900 to 3,200 m).

The plant was collected and named in 1798 by Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez, two Spanish botanists who spent ten years in Peru and Chile on a commission by the government of Spain to go to the New World in search of new medicinal and agricultural plants.

The inflorescences are very sticky, reaching up to 2 ft (0.61 m) long above the leafy stems.

The 1 in (2.5 cm) flowers are a brilliant blue, with a spreading lower lip.
