Salvia transsylvanica is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae.

[1][2] It is a herbaceous perennial native to a wide area from north and central Russia to Romania.

It was described and named in 1853 by botanist Philipp Johann Ferdinand Schur, with the specific epithet referring to the Transylvanian Alps located in central Romania.

[3] Salvia transsylvanica puts out several lax 2 feet (0.61 m) stems from a basal clump of leaves.

The leaves that grow on the stem vary in size—being larger at the bottom—with the upper side being dark yellow-green and the underside pale with yellow veins.
