Salvia wagneriana
Also called Wagner's Sage
Blushing Sage (Salvia wagneriana) is a showy perennial shrub-like sage from Central America and southern Mexico, grown for its large red to pinkish flowers. It does best in warm, humid conditions with plenty of moisture and bright light.
Salvia wagneriana is a perennial found in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, and the Mexican state of Chiapas, growing at 4,000 to 6,500 feet (1,200 to 2,000 m) elevation in warm, moist areas.
It is very popular among gardeners near its native habitat, and one of the few native plants taken from the wild by local gardeners. It is described sometimes as a herb and sometimes as a shrub by various botanists.
