Salvia cacaliifolia, also known as the blue vine sage or Guatemalan sage, is a flowering plant in the Lamiaceae family. It is native to the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, as well as Guatemala and Honduras, where it grows at elevations of 1,500-2,500 meters. This plant has been available in the United Kingdom since 1933, when it was recognized by Irish gardener and journalist William Robinson. It was later introduced to the United States in the 1970s by the Strybing Arboretum and Huntington Botanical Gardens. The correct spelling of the specific epithet is cacaliifolia, which means "with leaves like Cacalia." This herbaceous perennial blooms from midsummer to autumn with small, pure gentian-blue flowers and grass-green leaves. It is easy to propagate through cuttings and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. While it thrives in temperate climates, it cannot tolerate freezing temperatures and must be protected during cold, wet winters.
