Need an ID of a hot pink salvia

Can anyone tell me what salvia this is? I know it is not a gregii. The leaves are very large, thick and shiny. The blooms shoots are soft and bend over when they first start to come out. It propagates VERY easily. I was moving and tried taking cuttings from all my garden plants four times (two times to mail to someone on the east coast). This plant was successful everytime (unlike everything else). It's a hummingbird magnet! Mine is not very tall, maybe a foot and a half.

Does anyone know if it is hardy in zone 6 (SE Pennsylvania)? I'm guessing no, but maybe it's semi-hardy with lots of mulch and luck? Any suggestions on overwintering it indoors? I don't have a garage and the basement is heated. Any ideas?

Thank you!
