'''''Salvia splendens''''' ('''Scarlet Sage''' or '''Tropical Sage''') is a species of [[Salvia|sage]] native to [[Brazil]].
 +
 +
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.
 +
 +
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.
 +
 +
The main pests are [[slug]]s, which can be a problem in moist environments.

Salvia splendens (Scarlet Sage or Tropical Sage) is a species of sage native to Brazil.

It is a sub-shrubby or herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1 m tall. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, elliptical, up to 7 cm long and 5 cm broad, with a toothed margin. The flowers grow on erect 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 apex, the larger, upper lobe up to 13 mm long.

It is widely grown as an ornamental plant, with a large number of cultivars, such as Bonfire[1], 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, reseeding itself very easily and requiring very little care. It likes full sun in cooler climates but may need partial shade during particularly hot summers.

The main pests are slugs, which can be a problem in moist environments.
