Salvia campanulata is a perennial plant that is native to Xizang and Yunnan provinces in China, along with locations in Bhutan, India (Sikkim), Myanmar, and Nepal. It is typically found growing at {{convert|800|to|3800|m|ft|abbr=on}} elevation in and around forests, on hillsides, and in valleys. There are four named varieties.

The plant grows on erect stems, reaching {{convert|43|to|80|cm|in|abbr=on}} tall, with leaves that are cordate to ovate-truncate and growing {{convert|4|to|18|cm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3.5|to|13.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} wide. Inflorescences are widely spaced verticillasters in terminal raceme-panicles that are {{convert|10|to|20|cm|in|abbr=on}} long, with a yellow corolla that is approximately {{convert|2.7|cm|in|abbr=on}}.

The named varieties are due to differences in leaf hairs and texture, and differences in the bract and calyx:

  • Salvia campanulata var. campanulata
  • Salvia campanulata var. codonantha
  • Salvia campanulata var. fissa
  • Salvia campanulata var. hirtella{{cite journal|year=1994|title=Lamiaceae|journal=Flora of China|publisher=Harvard University|volume=17|pages=158–159|url=http://hua.huh.harvard.edu/china/mss/volume17/Lamiaceae.published.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100714110202/http://hua.huh.harvard.edu/china/mss/volume17/Lamiaceae.published.pdf|archive-date=2010-07-14}}
