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).[6]

Cultivation
Plants in cultivation are almost all hybrids, including Salvia 'Blue Spire', which is very likely Salvia × floriferior, a naturally occurring hybrid between the entire-leaved Salvia yangii and Salvia abrotanoides. The leaves of this breed have long narrow teeth (i.e. are laciniate), unlike S. yangii which has entire leaves with shallow teeth.[5][8]
