I got this salvia as a cutting from a fellow Garden Webber a few years ago and have lost the nametag. It has been blooming like crazy non-stop since the beginning of April. Thanks for helping me ID this plant. (Hoping my pic posts OK.)

Seems to be form of Salvia coccinea, either 'Coral Nymph' or 'Bicolor' which is just a taller plant. Very beautiful Salvia.

Robin.

Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nymph'?

I haven't even planted my seedlings out yet due to non-stop rain here.

So pretty and delicate looking.

Here is a link that might be useful: Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nymph'

You should look for seedlings which should come true to color. It makes a very nice patch plant.

Kgardens:
S.coccinea 'Coral Nymph'mine has been blooming for
a month.It shoul;d set planty of seed for you.Can
naturalize in Florida. The species has done that.
No reason to think that this plant is going to be any different.Mine started as one and I weed the seedlings out
every year.

I have a S. coccinia called "Hummingbird Coral" that looks like what you have.

Thank you all so much for the ID. I do believe it is "Coral Nymph". I have noticed seedlings around it and am happy to let them grow where they are for now, but it will be nice to have some to share as well. I love this salvia. It is tall and yet dainty and lacy looking and pink is my favorite color. I'm going to make a plant label and put it out in the garden tomorrow. Thanks again for such quick replies. Kay

There's another pink coccinea called 'Brenthurst' as well - but they all look the same to me!
