Salvia - Lady in Red The Salvia Lady in Red, 'Salvia coccinea', is an elegant alternative to the more familiar scarlet salvia varieties usually seen in bedding schemes. The flower-spikes have all the vivacity of those popular plants, but they are longer and less cluttered with blooms, which gives the plants an airy grace and more of a shrub-like appearance. Pruning these plants after flowering will produce sideshoots in spring for cuttings. They are very uniform plants and are heat and drought tolerant. This red-spiked variety performs well in containers and small space gardens. They are virtually irresistible to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.
