This is a beautiful Salvia species and a very nice shade of red!! I tried a few S coccinea this year- "Summer Jewel Red" and everything
@Marilyn said about this one is true of the one I have. The ones I have have not gotten barely 12 inches tall however. The bloom size is adequate for me but prefer larger blooms and definitely prefer larger/taller salvias overall. I am on the fence about growing it next year because it does bloom a long time and reseeds profusely which I like- seeds can also be collected. Very good pics in this entry, it is well deserving as "Salvia of the day"!
