The strandsalie (beach salvia), or Salvia africana-lutea, has grey-green hairy, aromatic leaves.
They have been used in hot water as a medicine for chest complaints and more. These leaves also feature in home potpourri mixes and as a relish in cooking fish.
The plant fares well in frost free coastal gardens, but will resprout from the rootstock after frost damage in inland gardens (Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; www.plantzafrica.com).
