Salvia splendens, Ker-Gawl. (S. colorans, Hort. S. brasiliensis, Spreng.). Scarlet Sage. Figs. 3538, 3539. Tender shrub or subshrub, treated as an annual, about 3 ft. high: st. shrubby with glabrous branches: lvs. petiolate, ovate, acuminate, crenate-serrate, base cuneate, rotundate or cordate, both surfaces glabrous; floral lvs. ovate, acuminate, colored: racemes terminal, spikelike, 6 in. or more long; floral whorls about 2-fld. (2- rarely 6-fld.), about 30 fls. in a raceme; calyx campanulate, membranaceous, scarlet, glabrous or villous, teeth 3, broad-ovate, acute; corolla scarlet, glabrous. Autumn. Brazil. B. R. 687. L.B.C. 11:1089. Var. alba, Hort., has creamy white fls. Var. atropurpurea, Hort., a form with dark violet-purple fls. Var. atrosanguinea, Hort., has deep crimson fls. Var. bicolor, Hort., with large spikes of scarlet-and-white fls. Var. Bruanti, Hort., dwarfer than the type in habit and brighter scarlet fls. G.C. II. 14:781; III. 6:653. Gn. 21:328 (good). A. F. 5:331. Var. compacta, Hort., dwarfer habit, racemes thicker and more numerous, fls. brilliant scarlet. Var. compacta alba, Hort., a whitish variant of the preceding variety. Var. compacta erecta, Hort., a dwarf form with dark scarlet fls. Var. grandiflora, Hort., is a tall-growing large-fld. form. G.M. 43:853. R.B. 27:12. The following variants of this variety are offered: Var. grandiflora erecta, Hort. Var. grandiflora nana, Hort. Var. grandiflora pendula, Hort. Var. grandiflora prostrata, Hort. Var. Issanchon, Hort. (S. brasiliensis var. Issanchon, Hort.), has the calyx white, striped red and a rose-white corolla, habit similar to var. compacta. Var. nana, Hort., is a dwarf form, rather early flowering, the fls. bright red. Var. purpurea, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. pyramidalis, Hort., is offered in the trade. F.E. 31:325. Var. roseo-carminea, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. semperflorens, Hort., is characterized as an early and continuous-flowering form. Var. Souchetii, Planch. (S. Souchetii, Hort.), is probably the same as var. compacta. There is a white- fld. variant of this variety known in the trade as S. Souchetii var. alba, Hort. Var. violacea, Hort., is offered in the trade.—S. nana, HBK., is a valid species belonging to Section 7. It is herbaceous, with a perpendicular, thickened tuberous root, almost stemless, with subsessile radical lvs. forming a rosette, and blue fls. Mex. Probably not in cult.

+'''''Salvia splendens''''' ('''Scarlet Sage''' or '''Tropical Sage''') is a species of [[Salvia|sage]] native to [[Brazil]].
-| name = ''LATINNAME''   <!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->
-| common_names =     <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->
+It is a sub-shrubby or [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]] growing to 1 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are arranged in opposite pairs, elliptical, up to 7 cm long and 5 cm broad, with a toothed margin. The [[flower]]s grow on erect [[Spike (botany)|spikes]] up from the center of the plant in clusters of 2-6 together at each leaf node; they are bright red, tubular to bell-shaped, up to 35 mm long, with two lobes at the [[Meristem|apex]], the larger, upper lobe up to 13 mm long.
-| growth_habit = ?   <!--- tree, shrub, herbaceous, vine, etc -->
-| high = ?   <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->
+It is widely grown as an [[ornamental plant]], with a large number of [[cultivar]]s, such as Bonfire<ref>http://www.backyardgardener.com/plantname/pda_bb07.html</ref>, selected for different flower color from white to dark purple. It is a tropical species which does not survive freezing temperatures as a plant, but can be grown in colder climates as an [[annual plant|annual]], reseeding itself very easily and requiring very little care. It likes full sun in cooler climates but may need partial shade during particularly hot [[summer]]s.
-| wide =     <!--- 65cm (25 inches) -->
-| origin = ?   <!--- Mexico, S America, S Europe, garden, etc -->
+The main pests are [[slug]]s, which can be a problem in moist environments.
