Salvia africana Lutea, commonly known as Golden Sage or Beach Salvia, is a species of flowering plant in the Lamiaceae family. It is native to the coastal regions of South Africa, particularly in the Western and Eastern Cape provinces.

This evergreen shrub has attractive gray-green leaves that are aromatic when crushed. The name “Lutea” refers to the golden-yellow flowers it produces during its blooming season, which typically occurs in late winter to spring.

They are a popular ornamental plant in gardens and landscapes, particularly in coastal areas or Mediterranean climates. It is drought-tolerant and prefers well-draining soil. The plant can reach a height of around 1 to 1.5 meters and has a sprawling habit.

In cultivation, Golden Sage requires full sun to part shade and moderate watering. Once established, it can tolerate dry conditions. Regular pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
