Salvia alatipetiolata is a low perennial sage native to grassy hillsides in Sichuan, China, at high elevation, with yellowish flowers in a purple calyx. It is rarely grown outside botanical collections, so care notes are general guidance for sages of this type.
Salvia alatipetiolata is a perennial plant that is native to Sichuan province in China, growing on grassy hillsides at 3,800 m (12,500 ft) elevation.

The upper leaf surface is mostly smooth, while the underside has many gray hairs.
