Salvia muirii is a small, twiggy, evergreen shrub that grows only about 30 cm high. It has a woody stem and an underground rootstock that gives it the ability to resprout easily after fires. The leaves are leathery, oval in shape and light green to almost grey in colour. When crushed, they are slightly sticky and release a light scent that is reminiscent of Vicks. uses: ornamental (dísznövény)
