Noted for its prolific blooms throughout the growing season, Salvia coccinea 'Pink' (Scarlet Sage) is a compact, upright perennial boating rose spikes of two-lipped, tubular, shell-pink flowers. Blooming from early summer to fall, the blossoms are attractive to butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
