What part of the salvia plant is so special? Is it the leaves or the roots or maybe it's flower?

Salvia, the ornamental, is nice because of its flowers.





Salvia, the herb (aka sage) is great because of its leaves, which are used in many different dishes -- my favorite is sausage. The flowers are also sweet-tasting, and look very nice.





But don't get the two confused! The ornamental is not edible TTBOMK, and the herb is only decorative for a couple of weeks out of the year (unless you like dusty green, low hedges).

All parts of the salvia are lovely, the leaves are aromatic and the flowers beautiful.





Culinary salvia is available in plain green, purple and a tricolour variegated form so can look good as well as tasting great, the more you cut them the better they look as it is the new foliage that has the best colour.
