Description
Salvia funerea is a shrub that produces many branches coated in white woolly fibers and may exceed a meter in height. The leaves are tipped with spines. 2-lipped flowers occur in clusters of three in each leaf axil.[citation needed] The tubular purple or blue corollas are between one and two centimeters long and are surrounded by calyces of spine-tipped sepals. The flowers on 1"-3" spikes are partially hidden by tufts of wool.
