Salvia reptans is a widely distributed herbaceous perennial native to the mountains of the Trans-Pecos in Texas, and in Mexico and Guatemala. It typically grows in dry stream beds and gravelly soils. It was introduced into horticulture in the 19th century and was previously known by the synonyms Salvia angustifolia and Salvia leptophylla, both of which refer to the slender leaves. The specific epithet reptans refers to the plant's creeping habit.
