Salvia dorisiana, commonly known as Fruit-Scented Sage, is a perennial shrub native to the cloud forests of Honduras. It typically grows 1–1.3 meters tall and is heavily branched, creating a lush, rounded form. The leaves are notable for their fruity scent, reminiscent of pineapple and grapefruit, which is released when brushed against. This species is particularly admired for its large magenta-pink flowers that bloom in the winter months, adding a splash of color during a season when few plants flower. Each flower can reach up to 5 cm in length and is complemented by a lime-green calyx of similar length. The entire plant is covered with glandular hairs that contribute to its aromatic qualities.

Fruit-Scented Sage is a popular choice for greenhouses and indoor gardens due to its attractive foliage, delightful fragrance, and vibrant flowers. It is also used in outdoor gardens in warmer climates. While it can tolerate low to medium water conditions, it thrives in well-draining soil and benefits from full sun exposure to partial shade. Gardeners should be aware that it may require protection from frost and is best grown in regions where temperatures do not drop significantly. This Salvia is not known for any significant disease issues, but overwatering can lead to root rot. It is not typically invasive but should be monitored to ensure it does not spread beyond its intended area.CC BY-SA 4.0
