A collection from the Northernmost part of the range (Arizona) for this Salvia which reaches all the way down to Central America or just into Northern Mexico depending on where you draw taxonomic lines. An evergreen species, though best cut back in our climates, with hot pink flowers that are gently fuzzy on the upper lip like a pubescent teen, only attractive and charming rather than disconcerting and in need of guidance. Perennial in at least Zone 8 if not slightly lower and can be used as an annual in colder climates.
