Comments:
In the Lower South this salvia is a perennial that dies back in the winter but returns in the spring in colder areas of the country use it as an annual. It is self-seeding with seedlings becoming quite common where plants have been growing for any length of time. Hummingbirds visit the bright red, tubular flowrs arranged along a tall stem. Many new improved cultivars are available in the trade. It is considered an herb.
