Salvia subgenus Perovskia is a group of species within the flowering plant genus Salvia, which prior 2017 were treated as the separate genus Perovskia.[2] Members of the group are native to southwestern and central Asia.[3][4] It includes the garden plant Russian sage (Salvia yangii).
The subgenus and former genus are named after the Russian general V. A. Perovski (1794-1857).[5]

Cultivation
Plants in cultivation are often Salvia 'Blue Spire' (syn. Perovskia 'Blue Spire'), thought to be a hybrid between the entire-leaved Salvia yangii and Salvia abrotanoides. The leaves of this cultivar have long narrow teeth (i.e. are laciniate), unlike S. yangii which has entire leaves with shallow teeth.[7]
