Salvia dentata is a perennial shrub with short twiggy branches native to western South Africa just north of Cape Town, growing between {{convert|2000|to|5000|ft|m|abbr=on}} elevation on dry hillsides, slopes, and streambeds. It was first described by William Aiton in 1789.

It grows {{convert|6|ft|m|abbr=on}} tall in its native habitat, less in cultivation, with unusual (for the Salvia family) round stems. The aromatic gray-green leathery leaves are small ({{convert|.5|in|cm|abbr=on}}) and tightly packed. The short {{convert|2|in|cm|abbr=on}} inflorescence is tightly packed with whorls of {{convert|1|in|cm|abbr=on}} flowers that range in color from pale blue to light lavender. As the calyces age they expand and turn pink, complimenting the color of the flowers.[1]
