Salvia brandegei is a herbaceous perennial evergreen shrub that grows to 3-4 feet in its native habitat. For many years, it was thought to be native only to Santa Rosa Island, one of the Channel Islands of California. In the 1960s and 1970s six colonies were found in Baja California. In cultivation, the plant will reach 4-5 feet tall and up to 7 feet wide. It has dark green scalloped leaves, about 3-4 inches long and .5 inch wide. The pale lavender flowers are about .5 inch long, in tightly space whorls. The violet-gray calyx, and the two lips of the flower opening wide, make it a very showy flower.
