Salvia sclarea L. commonly known as clarysage, is an important medicinal herb of temperate region with high market demand. In order to assess the morpho-chemical and biochemical plasticity in S. sclarea, studies were conducted at two contrastingly different environmental regimes. Plants were grown at Jammu (305 m, subtropical), and Srinagar (1730 m, temperate) till harvesting. Essential oils from inflorescence were quantified along with morphological parameters at both the locations. Morphological parameters such as plant height and number of leaves, which depict physiological strength of plant performed best at temperate conditions. Leaf area however was highest at lower altitude of 305 m. Number of chemical compounds and percentage of linalool increased with respect to altitude. Amount of linalool at 1730 m increased by 37% than 305 m. These findings reflect that temperate conditions were best suited for commercial growth of Salvia sclarea.
