Salvia tomentosa, the balsamic sage, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae.[2] It is native to the Balkan Peninsula, Crimea, Turkey, Lebanon/Syria, and the Transcaucasus, and it has been introduced to Germany.[1] A mound-forming perennial reaching 0.5 to 1 m (2 to 3 ft), the Royal Horticultural Society considers it a good plant to attract pollinators.[2]
